Here we are sitting in the PC Magazine Labs, and it occurs to us: We've got a shiny new Macbook Pro and an early build of Windows 7 on disc, so why not attempt to use one to run the other?
Check out photos, video, and a run down of the process, after the jump.
Using Bootcamp, we did a clean install of the new OS over Vista, which was already running on the system. We couldn't just upgrade because the Macbook wasn't running SP1.
It should be noted, of course, that this build (6801) still looks an awful lot like Vista. Far from being a final version of the operating system, Build 6801 is simply built on top of Vista.
All in all, the installation process went fairly smoothly. The computer restarted itself a few times (unfortunately, we had the system configured to start up to OS X, so we had to manually switch back to finish the process).
After installation, we installed the drivers via the Apple OS X startup disc, hoping that Windows 7 might have an easier time communicating with the hardware.
The disc didn't do much, sadly. The system was unable to get online, and various other Windows 7 features, such as the mouseover preview, were disabled.
Windows 7 still retained some of its key functionality, however: The new Paint and Wordpad were intact. We could "toss" windows to the top of the screen. The translucent glass windows were there, as well.
We were hoping that we might be able to take advantage of some of that touchscreen functionality via the MacBook's new multi-touch trackpad, but that too, sadly, wasn't working the way we'd hoped.
내용은 새로 나올 MAC BOOK PRO에 윈도우7이 나올것이라는 얘기입니다.
마소가 위도우 비스타에서 망하고(?)->좋지 못한 성적을 거두고 난후..
와신상담하면서 만든 운영체제가 윈도우 7이라고 하네요..
가칭이 있었는데 뭐였는지는 정확하게 기억은 나지 않구요..
아무튼 윈도우 7이 굉장한 놈이긴 한가보군요..
뭐 요샌 예전처럼 컴터조립같은거에 미쳐있는 것도 아니고..
컴터키면 하는게 사진 편집(포토샵, 포토스케이프, 포토웍스)나 블로그에 포스쓰는거(시작은 얼마 되진 않았지만)
다른사람 블로그 돌아다니면서 블로그를 어떻게하면 활성화 시키고 이쁘게 만들까 생각하고.
SLR클럽, 팝코넷, cdpkorea 정도 돌아 다니면서 이것저것 보고..
Engadget 들어가서 되도 않는 영어로 남들보다 조금 빨리 기계소식듣는거 밖에 없어서...
고사양이 필요하진 않다..
가끔 DVD구울라고 동영상 인코딩할때 '쿼드면 이거보단 빠르지 않을까?'
라는 생각은 하지만.. 아무튼 지금은 컴퓨터에 관심쏟을 시간은 없다...ㅎㅎ
쓰다보니 얘기가 샛군..
한줄요약 : 위도우7 좋은가 보군...
