Will current and older games run on windows 7? Will Vista games such as crysis, bioshock, company of heroes work? Will games like starcraft, and Age of Empires II work?

[Shakil314]

I haven't tried any games so far but I can give you a good guess that if it works on Vista, it will work on Windows 7, perhaps even better.

no startup sound??I didn't hear anything.

[Shakil314]

There is startup sound, I assure you. Unfortunately, I had my sound setting disabled in VirtualBox at the time.

I've also got my Windows 7 build 7000 up and running on my Virtualbox, but I'm having problems with it. It's not auto-detecting devices such as the ethernet NIC (drivers needed I guess), not letting me turn on network discovery, etc.

How's build 7000 running for ya Shakil314? It give you any trouble?

[Shakil314]

In VirtualBox, go to Network, and for one of the adapters, make sure that the adapter type matches your NIC and attached to NAT. It is possible that not all cards can be detected automatically.

I absolutely agree W7 feels like the finished version of Vista.

[thefreakinblack]

It does - on August 1, '09, but not if you don't want it too. ;)

W7 looks like vista with more MAC inovations made to it...i wish i could tell you how disappointing OSX is in comparison to W7 ...even in its unifinished beta stages.

try it out you might open your eyes to how average and "same old" osx is too.

iam running windows seven now... does it expire?

[thenextbigone]

in my opinion from running mac xp vista and linux. mac is the superior OS. Running vista smoothly requires an uber powerhouse of a pc and it is plagued with bugs and glitches. Win XP was nice but after constant running it experienced major slowdown. linux looked very nice but lacked software support. Mac on the other hand is beautiful stable and extremely user friendly. To me this windows 7 looks like vista with more mac innovations made to it.
