Windows 7 Beta... Damn...

Trying it for the helluvit on my spare machine and I've got to say: not bad. Installs quick with very few questions. Fits easily in an 8 gig partition. Boots fast by Windows standards. Quick and responsive. Windows snap open and closed lickety-split. Programs run without hitting the hard drive for half an hour. Task switches are smooth, not a lot

i'm the exact same way with a new install of XP. i set everything to "classic mode" especially folders and start menu.

it's cool that they still make a tiny version of windows that can be put on a small hard drive or tiny partition. it's good to know!

my dedicated retro-gaming machine is up next!

I've been meaning to do one of those for years. I've got a motherboard set aside for it. I need to get a real arcade-style joystick though, or a USB adapter for Atari-style joysticks.

i'm going to get the USB -> NES controller converter so i can use my existing unmodified NES controllers.
