    Any Ubuntu users around here?

    Hi, I have been running Linux Mint on my desktop since November of 2009. I went to several stores with money in hand to buy the Windows 7 Family Pack, but it was gone. Since I have to use Windows at work, running Linux at home seems reasonable plus the security and stability are great. Lack...

    Windows 7 Strike Three, Back to the Bench

    I'm a developer with about a dozen machines. I have designed hardware and/or software for DOS, WinNT, Win95, Unixware, Linux, and Solaris. Most of my patents are in the field of signal processing. Some of the more challenging OS installs have been Solaris and Debian Linux so I'm not entirely...

    Windows 7 Strike Three, Back to the Bench

    Good ideas. I have done almost what you suggest by verifying the MD5SUM of my download and attempting to install with Virtual PC. My experience with VirtualBox hasn't been so good under Windows but it will run Vista under Linux. Maybe it's worth a shot.

    Windows 7 Strike Three, Back to the Bench

    Ok 1. If Windows-7 doesn't install on machines with the minimum requirements, shouldn't the minimum requirements should be revised? 2. I never heard of older dvd drives having huge issues reading newer burned cd/dvd's. This doesn't seem to affect XP or Ubuntu but may be true of Vista and...

    Windows 7 Strike Three, Back to the Bench

Virtual PC 6 with 1 GB RAM hosted by a 2 GHz XP Pro system (physical and virtual DVDs) 3. HP Pavilion 510n with 1/2 GB RAM, 40 GB disk, 1.2 GHz (runs...

    Windows 7 Windows 7 MD5SUM?

    Can someone who has installed the Windows 7 beta successfully list the MD5SUM of the iso file? Both x86 and x64 would be nice. I am getting an error 0x80070570 "cannot install required files" after burning the DVD with verification using Nero 7. Thank you
