Windows 7 on Fedora 10

Here's a short video showing Windows 7 beta (7000) running on a virtual machine on Fedora 10 x86_64. This was made on a Compal JFL92 laptop, with an Intel Core 2 Duo T8100 processor. The virtual machine has 1GB of available memory (out of a total of 2GB in the system). Windows 7 seems to run smoothly even in a virtualized system, it appears Microsoft found the way to go (and make us all forget Vista). I must say I enjoy the new visual paradigm of the graphical interface, as it virtualizes the filesystem to the user.

Don't worry, I'll stay loyal to Linux :P

i get to the point wher i open it up so install and it say: Kernel driver not installed (rc=-1908)

The VirtualBox Linux kernel driver (vboxdrv) is either not loaded or there is a permission problem with /dev/vboxdrv. Please reinstall the kernel module by executing

('/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup')

as root. Users of Ubuntu, Fedora or Mandriva should install the DKMS package first. This package keeps track of Linux kernel changes and recompiles the vboxdrv kernel module if necessary. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!

Hey I'm also using Fedora 10 and tried Windows 7 through Virtual Box (except I could only allocate 512mb of memory) and it worked a lot better than I expected. I like the new taskbar's concept and the overall look, feel, and performance (at least from my subjective sense) in general. Good stuff but probably not jumping the Linux ship either. :P
