Not true. Works on my Pentium 3 no issues.

I myself didn't try it without Intel-VT.
Systems without Intel-VT are not wordy of having Windows 7 even installed, those systems are just to old, stick to XP (and 98/XP on that P3)

ut why an Pentium 3?
I hope you do not turn into one of those: ''OMG, WHY DOES NOT WORK?!?!?!!!111oneoneeleven".

So my 45nm 2009 Core 2 Duo T6400 2.0ghz is not worthy of Windows 7? lol


lol I don't think I am quite that bad! Plus it did work to the standard I would expect!
I was actually testing the Software Aero. And it is a huge drain on CPU resources as expected!
I have my P3 running as my server anyway with good ol' server 2003

Ah dang, forgot that those Core 2 lines also got CPU's without Intel-VT, scratch that, CPU's that were made before 2006

Next build coming soon ? ty

Stop asking these questions, all of you newcomers, please. No one knows when the build's coming, it's all speculation.

What's weird is my E6750 has Intel-VT but for some reason if I install hyper-v I can't then virtualise a 64bit guest within ESXi, only 32bit. Not sure if it's a CPU limitation not being able to do 64bit guests or not.

i agree on that.
The only i thing i know is that they are bussy coding the M3 release and that a closed beta should be made available on the PDC2011 (2nd week of September)

Which version of ESXi are you using?, Version 3 can only do 32-bit, version 4 can 64-bit.
But run ''securable'', all 2 must be YES and the otherone should be (don't remember right now), then it should work.

I download iso that is unlocked and I want to restore my OLD taskmanager. How to do that ?

Do the opposite of what you did to change it to the new one...?

Is there any special difference between Build 7850 or 7955? I don't know is it worth to download.

I didn't really test 7959. The aero never worked on my system so I decided to uninstall it. 7955 is better in my opinion. I do recommend installing 7955 before anything else.

If I was to install 7955 in VirtualBox, would the Windows guest additions work?

Nope, the Guest Additions won't work as it says it needs Windows Vista or 7. Not even with compatibility as it'll fail installing the drivers.

Oh, well I guess I'll have to setup a second PC for testing Windows 8 :/

Beta coming soon? ty

No one knows, please stop asking this kind of questions. It's all rumours and speculation.

i have a question about windows 8 beta is this as good as windows 7 is it better or does it has alot of bugs and problems as the beta of windows 7 had

Will this version install in VirtualBox? Also is this version better than the M3 7959?

Yes and Yes.

currently Windows 8 as a guest is supported only on Virtualbox.

Might revert back to Windows 7. It's becoming more and more unstable!

I think I need a leak after going through this thread!

cant wait to try this out
it will go great with my windows phone 7!
