Windows 7 progress We installed the RC on a few old HP business machines with a mixed bag of results. All were set up to dual boot with XP for easy comparison of performance with the same hardware.

Couldn't find a driver for the Intel onboard graphics on one, though the VGA driver Windows 7 selected gave basic functionality (loaded Flash Player and could watch Hulu), it wasn't even able to play a decent game of Freecell because of the lack of hardware acceleration. This particular project turned out as a positive as it was used to back up a Vista machine using Windows Easy Transfer and a Belkin Easy Transfer Cable: Had previously used it with Vista finding it somewhat slow and cumbersome. This custom transfer of key files wasn't much better but once on the Win7 machine it was possible to move them over to the XP logical drive.

Going to attempt a full system migration from the 32-bit Vista system to a more capable Win7 64-bit machine: Will update on the process.  ¶ 6/07/2009 05:59:00 PM
