Windows 7 RC?

« on: May 16, 2009 09:57 AM PDT »

Anyone try it yet? I got the x64 version but I can't get it to install. It complains about by bios not being ACPI compliant. XP has no problems using ACPI.

Nope. If I get the new laptop that I'd like next week, I'll be giving it a try, though. Friend of mine loves it (and he's generally a heavy Linux guy). Good luck getting it working...

What hardware are you trying to install it on?

Last full clear was 1,878 days ago as of November 17, 2009.

Light from our sun has been to Proxima Centauri since then and just last month passed Rigel (Alpha Centauri). We're now headed toward Barnard's Star and are 85.68% of the way there. Ironically, we'll get there on September 27, 2010.

Missing a character made after September 27, 2004? PM me about restoration.

Gigabyte GA-MA770-DS3 rev.2
AMD x2 6000+

It's already at the latest bios update. My bet is I will have wait for a new update or some way to turn off the acpi check in the 7 installer.

It has been running well on my new laptop for a few days now. I'm liking it.

I just got it myself. It's smooth for the most part, but I hate the Vista-identical interface (never liked it to begin with). I'm still trying to make it look and feel like XP, but it's stable and it runs well (for now). However, I am running into a few compatibility issues with older games, specifically, Tribes and The Ur-Quan Masters. I haven't tried anything else though.

Also, my sound card won't work with 7 (Sound Blaster Live! 5.1). I had to download the drivers for my onboard sound, which is okay I guess...but it renders my Sound Card completely unused, and I can't use the software that came with it (such as the Recorder, etc). Oh well...

Most of my Linux friends also say that they really like 7, which surprised me, since some of them were formerly Microsoft blind haters, or so I thought.
