It installed quite quickly. I assigned a gig of RAM to it and it's rather sluggish compared to Vista on 4 gig and XP on 2, but what does on expect?!-Darwin (January 12, 2009, 07:44 PM)

Is that using VirtualPC? It's quite snappy being assigned 1gig running under vmware...

It's very sluggish (to say the least) using VirtualPC on my 1GB RAM VM...
Carol Haynes:
I have to agree - in VMWare (with 1Gb of memory) it is probably as fast as Windows XP, maybe a bit better.
Darwin:
Yes - I"m running Windows 7 in Virtual PC. Seeing these last few posts prompted me to return to Virtual PC and take a look. I'd probably stop short of calling it sluggish, per se, but it's noticably slower than my "real" XP and Vista installs, both of which have a LOT more RAM to work with.
40hz:
Now that the beta is out, I was wondering if it would make more sense to shift the discussion over to WINDOWS 7 THREAD (ongoing) or possibly starting a new topic called something like: I'm Running Windows 7 Beta?
