Okay so I finally got Windows 7 to install in virtualBox, turns out you need to select windows other, which does not allow 64-bit OSs. Additionally i needed to have VT-x turned off to get the install to work. Here are some prelim screenshots. I will post more comments as I use it more but my first impression: the look is like the new KDE and Vista had an ugly bloated lovechild. The default install of the x86 version of the OS takes up over 10Gb on a new vDrive nothing installed yet. I love how the touted this as a trimmed down OS…. okay well here are the screenshots.
Any sugestions on what I should try? leave it in the comments, I’m going to try and use this a bit more and I will update here with my comments.
