thanks very much for your information. Could I ask that which MacBook you used to install the Windows 7? Mine is the basic config. 2GHz and 2GB memo. I don’t know whether mine Mac could run the Win 7.

Thanks in advance!

sorry, but the apple dock is a copy of “running instances” in windows 1.01 – check out some screenshots ;)

For Daniel: For quick page switching in os x use expose or better, spaces. much more advanced than the taskbar in Windows 7 I think.

I like things to look nice, but what I am most concerned with is getting the job done. The fact that I can have multiple windows open and so easily switch between them, not just switching between the programs themselves, using the new taskbar is Awesome. That really made all the difference for me.

OSX still has the edge in terms of ease of use for System preferences, which I find in Control Panel to be a pain, but man, I’m just so sold on the new task bar…you know what…I’ll just stop, you get the point. Try it yourself in Boot Camp.

I have the exact same screen issue at boot. It goes nuts for part of the boot, but sorts itself out when the login screen comes up and is fine after that.

VMWare folder sharing is my issue, too. I finally settled on sharing just one folder (w/ Read/Write permission) and use it shuttle the few things I need to. Hard to say if this is a Win7 or Fusion issue, but I have a good enough workaround for now not to care that much.

I also let VMware Fusion install it’s “fusion tools” (or whatever they’re called). Doesn’t seem to have messed anything up so far.

A strange but fairly trivial problem I have is that the Windows 7 screen bugs out during boot (looks like what happens when a monitor loses “sync”), but once it’s booted everything comes back to normal.

The main problem I’ve had is sharing files between Mac and Windows 7. Windows 7 tells me that I don’t have write permission when I try to write files into the shared folder (my OS X home dir) that VMware set up. I got around this by enabling the “Mirrored Folders” on the Sharing tab in the VM’s Setting panel.

- Internet Explorer 8 may have a good idea or two, but it sucks. Seems to me it’s Win7′s greatest weakness.
- Windows Live Mail is OK, but it’s pokey and there’s no excuse for that. Further, I think combining the mail, calendar, and contacts apps into one is a step backwards. I know it’s just a warmed over version of the years-old Outlook Express, but I still expected better. Oh, and keep in mind Live Mail is NOT beta; this is a release, and it’s rather mundane.
- The copied elements from OS X’s Dock into the Taskbar are nice, but they didn’t go far enough. Don’t like that I can’t have folders directly on it, for example.

Competition is awesome and the more the better. Windows 7 is a good option for people that need to go the Windows route. As for me I will stick with OS X anytime anywhere.
