So, curiosity got the best of me and I grabbed the Windows 7 beta soon after it was publicly released. After planning on installing it on an old PC (500mhz celeron, 256mb ram), and finding that it just plain wouldn’t install without at least 512mb RAM, I hatched a plan involving my laptop (a gateway […]
