Has anyone tried running Windows 7 in VMWare? The boot sector got corrupted when I tried, so it's hard to answer the question. ( I suppose it runs great in Hyper-V, but who actually runs Virtual Server?).
- pmjordan 18y agoI got the 32-bit version running in VirtualBox OSE on an x86_64 Linux host without too much trouble. (network driver needs to be installed, the one from Win2003 works; guest additions complain so you need to "troubleshoot" them) The Installer for the x64 Version didn't start. Might work with the non-OSS 2.1 Version, which supposedly has better 64-bit support.
- sarvesh 18y agoYeah I tried it on Fusion. It installed pretty good actually. Once I got it running tried to open a PDF document and obviously had to start downloading a bunch of stuff to make it usable. IE 8 runs renders faster than IE 6 did. Overall it has much cleaner interface and doesn't run slow like Vista did. Hopefully they got the drivers thing figured out this time around if not too bad for them.
- nailer 18y agoAye, runs fine in Workstation 6.5 omn Ubuntu 8.10.
- shoomery 18y agoHyper-V != Virtual Server. They're both virtualization products made by Microsoft, but the underlying technology is vastly different. Incidently, you can use the version of Hyper-V that comes with Windows Server 2008 R2 beta (i.e. Windows 7 server beta) to run Windows 7 client as a virtual machine.
