Virtual Machines Love Windows 7

[theif519]

Windows 7 and Linux Mint 10 KDE = Best Combo! I haven't gotten a Rogue yet... but I've been EXTRA cautious lately, even installing multiple security systems, it may slow down my PC, but MalwareBytes Pro is worth it. I was thinking of getting MSE too, though... Anyway, Mint 10 KDE for browsing, mostly for personal, and testing a download file, I.E Torrents, and Windows 7 is for gaming and other non-linux-compatible software.

[jro9001]

windows 7 is good but mac os x is 100000000000000000000000000000­0000000098X better

[35g70]

I don't see why everyone seems to hate Vista I never had any issues with it. Windows 7 is better than Vista but Vista isn't nearly as bad as people say it is. Most of the issues people had with it were ID10T errors.

[theif519]

@35g70 It depends on your "Rig" as someone told me once was the name of it, if it's not high-end it'll crash a LOT, but if it's a low-end, and meets minimum specs, then it'll have a shitload of problems. I'd take XP over Vista anyday.

[35g70]

@theif519

I think the biggest issue was that people wanted Vista to run as smooth as XP using the same hardware that XP used.

[kjdavey]

Windows 7 sucks less than Vista....

[jonbobizal]

i had windows vista for a few years on 2 completely different computers and never had a problem with it

same with windows 7

[MrNumeroid]

@raFFinare Ubuntu fails

[fakemanoan]

in a months time , im unboxing a netbook with w7

[acali24]

tell that nub to sell his mac buy a pc with windows 7 already..

[slug6199]

i prefer windows XP than 7 coz its alot easier to use than 7 and games actually work

[TheUberDeity]

@slug6199

Ummm, Windows 7 runs EVERY XP game flawlessly. I've ran games as far back as 1997 on the machine. Starcraft and Drakan: Order of the Flame ran perfectly without the need for compatibility mode or any other patch or trick.

So don't talk stupid. XP is stone-aged. It isn't even capable of handling DX10 or 11, so unless you want to stay stuck in the past, you might want to consider moving on an upgrading.

[lemler33]

i love windows ME

[7abal]

xp is best

[videogme]

7 is a faggot os.

use xp or linux you braindead cocksucks.

[vogelkillyou]

@videogme your a damn idiot why would anyone use a shitty ass 6 year old OS that runs hardly any new games and then with linux why would anyone want to use a OS that has hardly any software?

[Trafficker85]

@videogme what's the matter? no money for a copy of win 7 and you mad!? XD

[madhustla]

@videogme someone has obviously never used windows 7

[kalsikum]

I got windows 7 for free!

[madhustla]

@kalsikum i bought myne and i love it

[TheLarssan]

Gosh...

[Akrubas]

I think Windows7 is a very good OS.

At some points it lags but very little.

I got a W7 Laptop for Christmas and so far so good.

I just installed WoW and I'm gonna see how it runs.

Don't Fail Me Windows7.

[Akrubas]

@Akrubas

Oh my God!

Windows7 runs World of Warcraft so clean.

Runs better than my Dad's Vista Laptop.

I reccomend Windows7!

[CarlitoZzNuilO]

@Akrubas I have a question for you.

Since you've had that w7 laptop for about 4 months now.

How has it worked for you?

Any virus, malware or driver problems?

Do you feel satisfied with it?

and finally

How do you connect to your PC?

[Akrubas]

@CarlitoZzNuilO

There were a couple of driver problems but easily fixed.

I think it might have gotten a minor virus but I also got rid of the virus.

Either way W7 is perfect.

Using XP ATM though.

[jason24568]

@Akrubas I'm running Windows 7 (activated and it is piracy) and it works well and it NEVER FAILS!!!

[kevincostertycoon3]

windows 7 plays games allot more cleaner and less lagg then vista. If anyone agrees, reply to this comment!

[solartape]

True, I built a gaming machine with a copy of windows vista @ first... then I got windows 7 after vista sucked lol, it runs games AWSOME!!

[tuzian]

none of my old progs run on win7 not ableton stuff not adobe stuff(bran new vers.) crashing all ove rthe place. New laptop, new OS new headaches. Expensiveones. If the hardware/software andapps can't all get along. If te technology isn't keeping up then stop fuckn releasing it! Running the new i7core processor and still the whole thing is lagging. even as i write this text. Hell.

[tattoobaker]

i have a macbook pro, i want to run autodesk maya 2010 on windows 7. would it be better to run it with boot camp or VMware? thanks for your help, jeff

[macfanofgi]

I used to have Vista on my MacBook Pro with VMware Fusion as well. It ran barely decent on its own, sucked in virtualization, and ruined my Vista license! Now I have Fusion 3 with Windows 7 Pro, no Boot Camp, and it works like a charm! (It might be that 7 is x64.)

[cloutierhaker]

@macfanofgi Same here man It works much better

[PsychoChipper]

llot people sad that the battery life is wors but its not treu my battery life is better then XP and Vista.

[ebbyt00]

would XP made softwares work better on vista or window 7

[ebbyt00]

i have win 7 upgrade CD MY first question is

can i use it for installing virtual machine with upgrade CD or has to be complete os cd

does win 7 works better with software is made for xp or vista would be better option

can use window 7 upgrade cd to do clean installation or i have to have vista already happen to back up partition on my drive would the upgrade erase that partition and do u think that partition would be useless for window 7

[cloutierhaker]

As far as I know the Windows 7 upgrade requires that you have Windows Vista installed, maybe you guys could help with the input but if you bought a upgrade DVD (CD is too small for windows 7) then you need windows vista to upgrade to windows 7 for me it was a long process but it was well worth it

[MrJarryd]

what a bunch a bitches, everyone is complaining about windows vista, it was not the best windows os but not the worst, and windows 7 is good.

[Gibson299]

why do you people follow this Living breathing Mac advertisement.

Honestly he trash talks Windows, he hates Windows 7 as much as he hated Vista, he just won't admit it, he's pretending to like 7 so people won't get mad at him "2 blue screens of death doing windows 7 on his touch screen"

LOL? First off touch computers are a joke second off Your fucking lieing man, even if u proved it nobodies gonna care christ you just suck with windows, i don't think microsoft likes you man ur a fanboy.

[deadlyv2]

if you knew who he was then you would realize that he has been a windows user since the beginning. He trash talks windows because they deserve it, they have been releasing bad products like the xbox which failed from the beginning, vista, ME come on they need to get their act together. he says he likes mac because its stable and it just works. just because you are stuck in the world of windows dosent mean everyone else has too. so enjoy looking through the glass.

[cloutierhaker]

I have a statement to make I am and still am using windows mainly as a gaming machine with my ibuypower computer, I don't hate Windows I hated vista and I truly believe that windows 7 is better running it now. I find now that windows 7 is more stable and I love it, I have no intention on just switching altogether to a mac, I like technology and I like PC's and Mac

[cloutierhaker]

Hey Gibson299 the only fanboy I am of is Ernie Ball Musicman Luke series IYF Gibson LOL just kidding, I am and still am a windows users And I know your talking about Chris just putting info that I like Musicman's

[iknowright08]

ahahahahah. "I'm sorry"

[retepvosnul]

7 dollars ? 70 tips for winblows 7 ? I thought MS was the conman.

[charlotte563]

macs are betta!!!

[hathome]

had vista on laptop since it came out and still have had no problems!

[PaulDavidT]

Chris are you partners with google?

[alex4bes]

froze up a lot LESS

it still freezes up....

[costescuandrei1975]

it works flawlessly. And XP sucks major ass, it got old and it has too many viruses.

[mahadragon]

I wonder if the 1st caller realizes that Windows 7 has the same underpinnings as Vista?

[erikman89]

the read light in the headphone jack can be fixed with by sticking a paperclip in it. not necessary to download anything

[1ockedand1oaded]

everything should be free!

(and everyone should have pocket money for sweets and caffeine!)

[Kylesleetvids]

ignore post below i mean what is, his scrrensaver?

:)

[Kylesleetvids]

what is, is dekstop background?

[crazyduck9000]

7 us is alot of me u should have made it free

[MooreProductionsMP3]

LOL @ all the live comments about how windows 7 is worse then vista, same as vista, and has more problems then vista. Must be the the users who only use Mac OS and have never even thought about trying out windows 7. Know what your talking about before you say stupid shit.

[Videogamekid1992]

Tell me this, sir. What makes Windows 7 better than Windows Vista, besides the whole "I HATE UAC!" shit (which I believe is completely ridiculous)?

[Pesh71]

i am running vista, never had problems, but i want windows 7 anyway.

[AirForcedude5]

same

[Videogamekid1992]

That's ok, I guess.

[costescuandrei1975]

what's the thing with UAC? You just go to Control Panel>User Accounts>Turn UAC on and Off and turn it Off..it doesn't even want you to restart..

[Videogamekid1992]

I know that. I'm just saying how I believe it's ridiculous that people complain about such a miniscule thing such as UAC.

[Pesh71]

i know!

[cloutierhaker]

I know that but still Microsoft is stupid for having that enabled, believe me I have been using windows for years and I am not a mac fan boy in fact even started out on Windows 98, I like both PC and Mac, people call me a fan boy for using both but I don't care. In fact some windows elements such as screen capturing works better along with games but macs work well with music and I am guitarist/geek that loves it for music

[suisenbenjo]

Exactly! I haven't seen UAC since the day I installed vista (nor have I had any other problems whatsoever)

[MoyuZ]

i have been using vista as well since it came out, but i did tried the win 7 when i t was still beta, it the speed was just overwhelming, it was smooth and really nice, in comparision to vista is just much better and faster and will use your hardware much better as well.

[cloutierhaker]

Speed Reliability, better enhancements for games whats not to love have it installed not as much error's or send or error report. Runs on more Pc's than vista could support means older PC's could run on it. Looks better (Looks are not everything) more clean, Faster startup, Faster shutdown, Xp Mode (Free Virtual Windows Xp) Cleaned out extra crap, better sleep mode, Updated Explorer, Programs Start faster. What's not to love about that?

[Demat89]

chris get everything for free on his "community" expense

[tommy4578]

lol most people are running windows 7 on a leopard or snow leopard... I am running leopard on windows 7 in VMware (it's 6.5)

[ikcti]

I got Windows 7 :) It is awesome, way better than Vista...

[Robnby]

vista to 7 is one of the greatest examples of how time and business techniques plays into programing. more and freer gets you a neater and better code. and honestly makes me worry about 7 cents they bumped it up many years than planned.

[testtube173]

I might be completely alone in the world but I have NEVER had a single issue with vista. I've used it for about a year and some change and its always worked properly. From what I've seen of 7 there really isn't that much to justify the jump.

[jarnyjarn]

Same here ive never had any issues but im still upgrading

[Pesh71]

exactly the same as you, jarnyjarn

[Rikardiho]

Im considering buying a 13' mac pro (the cheapest) and I wonder if with its current specs and vmware fusion2 hosting Win 7,

do games run at fair speeds? say for example Fifa 08 or Age of Empires III???

I havent had the chance to see how Vmware Fusion 2 actually runs Win 7 on a 13inch mac and how it could run these type of games as far as FPS and performance go

If anyone has experimented with this, would you please give me some feedback???

Thanks!

[Kin632]

Overall, it's pretty good, not to play on the very highest settings if running on VM

[cloutierhaker]

Dude do not use vmware for gaming use boot camp you won't t get anywhere with a virtual machine if you choose mac. By the way I was able to get Bioshock , Doom 3, Fallout 3, Halo 2, running pretty well. If you think it could handle Crysis well your in for a suprise it only it handles it on medium settings and with 2gb of memory it could barely handle it

[Rikardiho]

Hey thnx for the feedback.

Im an old school gamer so I dont think I would be getting into Crysis or similar. I know bootcamp runs windows faster since its partitioned on the HD but I prefer VmW since you can use it as an extra app on your desktop. Overall, should I get a mac OR stick to another windows machine like this one:

I would love to have a mac and be able to do what I used to on my XP computer

[Arnoldguerra]

Windows 7 is better than vista it's faster and i only got windows 7 and Microsoft word $16

[bcatl69]

Really? Troll yourself somewhere else. I'm replying to this fail attempt on a MAC btw. FAIL.

[metainfinity]

He signed it saying he's sorry? Hah.

[CapPicard]

Win ME was bad, but does anyone remember the horror that was MS-DOS 4.0?

[grooveclubhouse]

does anyone remember PC-DOS? I had that... come on like 5 floppy disks.

[CapPicard]

Yes, I had PC-DOS 2.1 (the 2-disk 5.25" set) for my PCjr (yes, you heard right).

My jr had the infamous PC/jr compatibility switch on that double height Racore sidecar. I had a whopping 640K of Ram. That switch didn't do a bit of good. Only thing it did was switch from 40char to 80char display... Booting MS-DOS 3.3+ gave me multi-colored ascii garbage about 1/2 through the boot process on that machine.

I even wrote my HS term paper in Wordstar on a PCjr!

[grooveclubhouse]

Holy crap man! well you beat me sir. i thought my 386 with 2 megs of ram was old school..... It had a turbo button on it though that bumped that babby up from 60mhz to 80.

[CapPicard]

My first computer wasn't even an 8088-based machine. I first had a TRS-80 Model III (1MHz Z80 with 64KB RAM and two 5.25" 360k floppy drives). I once programmed the cassette port to produce sound when connected to an amplified speaker (via an Z80 assembly routine).

[CapPicard]

I ran the beta version of win 7 in Virtual Box a few months ago and very responsive.

I'm debating buying win 7 for my desktop. I have an nForce4-based motherboard. I had issues with nVidia chipset drivers in vista x64 (particularly the sound driver).

Whose asinine idea was to come up with the sidebar in Vista? That was the first thing I disable when installing Vista! Win7's desktop widgets don't suck my CPU dry, unlike that sidebar.

[SolomonRacer]

On my laptop (Not a mac), there's a red light inside the audio port too, but it's for fiber optic audio cabes.

[jruddock]

Does anyone know who sponsored this phone call?

[ManamoPrime]

Vista is like an STD.

[gamer7790]

windows is like an std. macs are better

[metainfinity]

Really? Please tell me how.

[gamer7790]

windows sucks. done.

[Danwynne]

amen brother!

[metainfinity]

Typical band wagon fanboy.

[cloutierhaker]

I am in no means a fanboy, I use both Windows, Linux and Mac and you call me a fan boy I don't like Vista, I like Xp, Ubuntu, 7 and many other operating systems. Here is my case ALL OPERATING SYSTEMS HAVE ISSUES, Mac included. I love Technology So you could call me a tech fanboy whatever, I am not hear to fight about which one is better, I am just expressing my opinon. No Fighting or fanboyness intended.

[archy9752]

I liked vista after SP1 but IMO it was underrated but still...not vary good but i wouldn't say it was "bad".

[vampjoseph11]

I hate Windows 7. It's basically Vista with better security (supposedly) and and an ugly UI. I have it on my vista system in Virtual Machine and I hate it as much as I hated Vista when it first came out (if not more so). I will be waiting a long while before I switch my OS. Vista will probably become the new XP

[EternalSoul175]

Tell that to benchmark tests that say otherwise...

[Braincracken]

VISTA IS

Virus

Intruders

Spyware

Trojans

Adware

[Thegamer5150]

I thought it stood for

VERY

IGNORANT

SHITTY

TROJANS

ATTACKING

[0m3n1337]

Vista is doesn't have any of those problems though. It's much more secure than Windows XP.

[TheNewYorkPete]

Chris stays pimpin'

[bcatl69]

rudewolf89 - because many applications we require for work or other things only run on windows.

[TheJacobHolmes]

chris i will buy your old macbook pro for a lot if you sign it lol! :)

[Nexis]

Vista is fine, now - Years after it's initial conception. The whole reason Windows 7 is "great" is because it runs better than Vista does in its current stage.

Personally I've not noticed much change so far. It defiantly runs better than Vista did for me. I like that my laptop comes out from sleeping in literally 3 seconds. (Took 60 secs in Vista) Otherwise, it's the same old same old.

[neerdy5]

I love Vista! I have had NO problems!! I dont know what yall are smoking but VISTA IS FINE!

[DahcS]

Vista is an everyday Virus!!

[wingnut4427]

vista is like Owning a ford. Some people just have better luck with it than others.

[Prence]

Microsoft needs to give everyone who was forced to have to suffer with vista a free upgrade to win7. I bought a new laptop from gateway and I was forced to have to use vista and when I called gateway to upgrade to win xp I was told they didn't suport XP and wasn't going to offer any suport or drivers. So microsoft needs to offer a free upgrade to win7 to anyone who was forced to suffer with vista.

[bigrock123]

its always seems very awkward when people say bye to chris lol

[TheLarssan]

"It beats the crap out of Vista."

[cloutierhaker]

I know I sounded cheesy, I was a little nervous lol!

[opticseo]

I just installed Windows 7 yesterday after using XP forever. I love it. Very smart OS in my opinion, even just at first glance.

I bought Chris's Windows 7 ebook and am happy to show my appreciation with 7 dollars. This is an ebook you know is going to help you get more out of windows 7.

BTW, I got Windows 7 cheap through school. If you are a student, see if you qualify, and use the extra cash to buy the ebook!!

[rudewolf89]

Can someone answer this? Whats the point of getting a mac, if your going to duel boot with windows?

[zagross16]

it looks good (?) lol

[ianerick]

because you cant dual boot mac OSX on a windows comp.

[cloutierhaker]

This is Josh, The whole point of dual booting with windows or using a virtual machine is program support. I think also for gaming as well, I like both operating system's. I do however like the way mac's run on my macbook pro the apple Os is far superior but program support is with Windows sometimes

[ajsg09]

apple stated the 7 will be native on boot camp by the end of this year

[slayer24164]

chris, your a nice guy but nobody wants to buy your ebook mainly because your telling people not to buy 7 just yet, so why would anybody want an ebook they dont have the OS for?

[ZeroC0ol1989]

LoL no one is buying his ebook...

90% of the Pirillo community are pirates =P

[crispybacon100]

i know i am

[machiinate]

Yup.

[cloutierhaker]

I am no pirate lol, I will be purchasing his ebook and his mac guide as well. I am the person on the other end with Chris by the way.

[TheLarssan]

How can you be so sure?

[windowspczone]

Vista isn't freezing up for me at all :O

[AbsalomPitchingfork]

Also, why are you getting a 17-inch? It's so big and unwieldy.

[AbsalomPitchingfork]

Wait, BootCamp doesn't support Windows 7? I thought I read that it did. Or is it VMWare that I'm thinking of?

[macflyfilm]

The biggest issue with Windows 7 in Bootcamp right now it bluetooth. The trick is to uninstall the Apple bluetooth drivers, after installing "all" the Apple Bootcamp drivers from the Snow Leopard disk in Admin mode. This took me hours to solve, hope someone else benefits from my hard work. Oh and for less issues install the x86 version, not the x64 version : )

[Flyerbeale]

i cant even format my drive for boot camp. HELP :/

[bllymcgvrn123]

lol its not hard just go into bootcamp assistant and it does it all for you...I'm running windows 7 via bootcamp

[cusinndzl]

Nice video.

[provito]

<3 win7

[Millahtime]

gotta love your shameless product placements and ads

[irreverentmoose]

I'm running Windows 7 in VMWare fusion on my MacBook Pro, and it runs great, even with aero enabled.

[perisville]

i just download the latest reltek hd driver it will work in with bootcamp THANKs

[19BlackLord91]

we don't want HD video cause it take more quota and steel time loading

[perisville]

i have the same problem

[jasonrybka]

Does Aero work on Fusion?

[IMPMAC]

yes

[Millahtime]

it works on fusion 3

[cloutierhaker]

now it does! If you buy it

[AradhEnterprises]

rock on

[ninjikiran]

I have a strong PC so I never had any issues with Vista, while windows 7 offers improvement I rather not pay for the upgrade. I feel a little burned since Win7 is the final Vista release. I have Vista Ultimate, looking at windows 7 I would be more for the professional edition. Being able to emulate XP fully for backwards compatibility is a great feature. If I get Windows 7 it would be if I upgrade to an SSD though.

[billsurlatete]

i have a pretty fast quadcore and 4 gb of ram. i considered vista un-usable. i love 7 tho

[CuberChris]

what happened to the HD videos???

[kitasitatata]

I guess these windows 7 things that are recorded a week ago are straight from the web cam that isn't HD. So don't worry.

[CuberChris]

yah i guessed it was from the webcam, i was wondering whether he'd gave up on the idea of specially recordin them with the HD camera

[SoftwareTutorial]

this is live video from ustream recorded

not from HD cam

[czukoman202]

Yes the red LED...

[cloutierhaker]

Yeah I have had that problem, any one else here had that problem

[klo1777]

Windows 7 is ROCK'N'ROLLING!

[srwboy]

This vid is better than the other vid about making tofu.

[sam032015]

stop trying to sell the ebook

[SmokeyCZ]

he makes money with his vblogs, site n stuff. sellin his ebook feeds him, he cant stop doin that

[GlenroyG]

Stop bitching about him trying to sell the ebook

[DJTJ1001]

The Audio issue he is speaking of I THINK is the optical out, sometimes the mac turns it on, stopping audio out through the speakers.

[Cimlite]

I keep watching these videos... but I'm starting to wonder why. There's nothing new in these calls. It's just "Down with Vista - Long live 7".

Not to mention Chris keeps trying to sell something every other sentence. Coupons this, eBook that.

I like Chris/lockergnome, it's not that... it's just it's getting a little much for my taste.

[an80sGuy]

There nothing new in these videos, because there is nothing new in Win 7. The only thing they can say about it is, it doesn't suck as bad as Vista sucks.

[shoxite]

Can't wait to upgrade to Windows 7. Only 120 dollars more to go baby lol JK but Im gonna come up with the money HOPEFULLY!

[igonnagetfsx]

I also think 7 does not freeze that often as Vista did. I also think its better than XP, and I love the new taskbar and the drivers that come throu Windows update :)

[an80sGuy]

Yes but how much less often does it freeze then Vista? 50% less, maybe? If that was the case, it would mean that Win 7 sucks 50% less then Vista sucked? Does that sound about right?

[igonnagetfsx]

um, no. I dont think you get it.. It's not all about if its freezing or not...

[an80sGuy]

Oh I get it. Its also about new Taskbar and driver updates. The type of things Mac users take for granted.

[igonnagetfsx]

I didnt say that. Thats the main new things. now shut up.

[xSkittlesxNewbx]

u never had trouble with vista except the more ram requirment :S

[termodox]

guys stop talking about vista...omg...ok we all know vista sucks, why say that every time...jesus..talk about xp vs 7

[VrClanAce]

My Vista never freezes :S

[iPhoneiReview]

It depends on what software ur using

[MainTutorials]

Mine has before

[Walkthroughs14]

sweet!

[funckyjunky]

haha

[iPhoneiReview]

Great video!
