Will the Windoze 7 beta work in a 17-18gb partition? Is that enough space?
I'm just going to play on it for a couple of weeks until the big HD gets here. No word processing or heavy lifting. I tried running it as a virtual machine, I didn't care for it. Thanks ZM |

I would buy a new cheap hdd to play with it. HDD are really cheap and a 18gb partition might be a little tight

I've got ten gigs left on the partition. Bigger HD is on it's way. This HD will get put in a drawer for emergencies.
I'm not running a swapfile. I have enough RAM so I don't need it. I'm going after the hibernation file to see if I can get back that space too. So far I like how it runs on the big monitor. 1600x1200. The interface is different from Vista and options for the classic start menus are gone. Takes some getting used to. I hope Microcrap brings the classic menus back in later editions. Screenshot
