Windows 7 Beta

As promised, I am in the process of writing up an article on dual booting the MSI Wind between Windows XP and OSX 10.5.6. I fully expect to have that article up before the end of the week. Its been an interesting journey getting it where it is now. If I could image the drive and just pull that on and off as I wanted, I’d probably do that; but you know us tweak-geeks…we just can’t leave good enough alone.

Case in point – As soon as the Dual Boot article is done, the Wind is getting wiped, and Windows 7 beta is going on! I was fortunate enough to score a copy of the beta and a license code over the weekend, and its going on as soon as possible. I’ll have a write up on that experience and process, as well as a mini review of Win7 on the Wind (is it worth trying to run on an Atom processor with only 2GB of RAM, how painful is it, is it REALLY better than Vista, etc.) If things go well, I may even try to put the dual boot back on, who knows…

Stay tuned!!

    Hey Chris,
    Just wanted to encourage you on writing that detailed piece walking through getting the MSI Wind to be a dual boot machine. I know it is a lot of work, and I’ll be very thankful
