Windows 7

I can only upgrade to 7 on the virtual machine on my mac :/

 

Bootcamp?

 

You don't do very much with your computer, do you?

 

elaborate please?
I don't know how bootcamp works

 

It basically splits your hard-drive in two. One part is dedicated to OSX, the other to whatever OS you install on it.

All it does is let you partition your hard drive to allow you to boot up on windows.
As a note, if you want to install 64-bit Windows 7, I believe that you will need to also be running Snow Leopard which has a 64-bit update for Boot Camp.
Someone correct me if I am wrong.

 

Ah I see thanks

also can you only use an upgrade CD once?

 

Hmmmm... I don't know, the OEM ones are one time use but the upgrades...
I look it up and get back to you.

 

um whats OEM

 

I'm a Mac user, don't care about Windows, have an old PC with XP for games. Don't care about Win. 7. I've tried out Vista though, and it completely sucked. I literally clicked Internet Explorer, it opened 4 windows at once, then crashed.

Snow Leopard FTW!

 

OEM is basically a version of windows which can only be used once. Unlike a retail version where you can activate it on any computer you want, only it can only be on one at a time.

 

Windows 7

HA!

Mac OS X Snow Leopard

HA!

Ubuntu Linux

HA!

This is the real future:

Tick tock, MS and Apple and Linux heads...tick tock

 

meh.

 

I'm not really sure where the conversation's at... but Windows 7 absolutely slays Vista. I'm in no hurry to upgrade from XP, but the next time I buy a PC I'll be happy to go with 7.

Since people have brought it up... I've got access to a few Macs, but never go on them cause every time I want to do something... I can't. Mac Photoshop totally blows.

 

I never really had any problems with vista, but just got my OEM copy of windows 7 home premium for my macbook and it's running great(plus I'm getting 30+ constant fps on COD:world at war )

 

Did you get the 64-bit version?

 

Yeah, it took a little bit longer for me to get boot camp to install the 64-bit drivers, but it's working fine now.

 

Cool, I have been wanting to load it all up, I've got Snow Leopard sitting in its box and can't decide whether to get Windows 7 or not. Leaning towards yes. Glad to know it works.
Did you have to track down the drivers? Or did it just take a bit to load?

 

I used this guide on macrumors: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=632609

 

Alright thanks for the link, I think I'll go ahead and buy it.
