So, goodbye TOCA Race Driver 3... Can't play it now that I'm in Vista and 7.
Will I buy the next in the series - Grid? No chance!
Talking of DVD emulators - got one which will run under seven? Alcohol 120 is my usual tipple but I think I read it won't work under 7?

People are having issues with Daemon as well as Alcohol!
How about PowerISO?
How about PowerISO?
I think I got magicdisk to work - but that's very basic. Doesn't have the ISO management window like Alcohol120, and doesn't like ISOs on network drives.. which is a pain when you have a gigabit network, and have to copy every iso you want to use once to the local machine.
edit: no didn't get magicdisk to work - just remembered I had to burn the iso to disk to get at the goodies inside.

This is why its still beta lol. Can't believe some people are using it as there main OS.
I've got mine running on a esata drive. I unplugged the main sata drives when installing so as far as XP and 7 are concerned they are the only os on the machine
As for RAM. My machine has 2GD of DDR2 533. The task manager gets it right but the system properties (seen when you right click Computer > Properties) says 18GB.

Mine is on my main drive but only because Vista went a bit crappy on me. My data is all safe on another drive
Will be putting Vista back on soon though.
I still have HDDs with Vista on it. But will plod along with 7 until it properly throws a wobbly, or the beta expires. Only way to properly test it is to use it. Logging on ocasionally will miss most problems.

i built a Windows 7 64bit PC in work today to try it out, only played on it for 10 minutes but i cant get my head around why?
i looks completely like vista just with a different task bar, didnt really seem less resource intensive as others have said.
i got bored and now its just living under my desk

I got windows 7 Installed its awesome, and put it on my other partition so I can revert back to XP when ever something doesn't work, I got the free serial aswell to activate it till it expires in August =D
And it uses less ram than vista 128mb compared to vista's 1gb

You mean it's minimum required ram is lower? Mine's using 1.2Gb out of 4 currently. I do have all the fancy stuff turned on though.
It's a good bit quicker to shutdown than Vista. Not convinced its any quicker to startup though.

I find it uses less RAM but I don't really see why that was a bad thing with Vista because it meant stuff loaded pretty bloody fast. Back to Vista for me. Windows 7 simply isn't good enough at the moment....
Yeap thats the one, My max Ram usage gets to about 30% which rawks :slayer:
What's wrong with 7 at the moment. I'm still on 7 with no issues.
gonna install it today
dunno whether to bung it on the underpowered/ram'd laptop or just bung it on the spare pc tbh

I have Windows 7 installed on my test laptop as well as Vista Ultimate, XP Pro and Ubuntu lol
I am impressed with W7, mainly because off the tweaks I use to speed up Vista, most have been included in W7 as standard
