Don’t try installing Windows 7 on your Macbooks yet
Posted by Al in Windows 7 News on 11 5th, 2008 | 2 responses |
The guys over at Gearlog (who by the way are affiliated with PC Magazine) thought it would be a good idea to put a copy of Windows 7 Pre-Beta onto a Macbook. After a bumpy installation process and trying to install the drivers from the Mac OS X startup disk, they couldn’t get many of the Windows 7 features working properly. Even worse, they were unable to go online. I have no doubt that the final release of Windows 7 will be compatible with Macs. But for now, don’t risk it.
You can check out the rundown (with pics and videos) of the entire installation process here.

I installed Windows 7 on my MacBook Pro last night without any trouble. Only thing i needed to install afterwards was the nVidia drivers from the bootcamp CD and drivers for the iSight webcam. Apart from that, it was a ready to roll-installation. It couldnt really have been any smoother
hi, windows 7 beta. problemlose installation. bootcamp.msi muss verändert werden. anleitungen gibt es im internet. ansonsten: smooth… treiber funktionieren hervorragend.
