If you don’t have a second machine to test Windows 7 and you don’t want to create an extra partition in your main PC for this purpose you still can test it creating a Virtual Machine. To create a Virtual Machine  you can use Virtual PC 2007 from Microsoft, which is a freeware or you can use VirtualBox, here you can find the instructions of how to install W7 in a Virtual PC created using VirtualBox.

    I've been running Win7 in VMWare Fusion on my Mac and it's worked fine (I had a couple of blue screens, but when I bumped RAM from 768 to 1024 they never came back.) No Aero features, but that's ok; you get the basic idea of the interface without it.

    The only advice to anybody with Fusion that I would give is to NOT choose to let Fusion do an auto-install (which is basically a script that runs you through a Windows installation with little to no user interaction required.)

    I'm giving this a try. I'm not familiar with VirtualBox, so it will be interesting to compare this with Microsoft's Virtual Machine. Plus this will be a useful way to use up a spare drive in my work box.
  • Been playing with Win7 for the last two weeks using a VirtualBox setup with no problems. Been surprised at the stability of Win7, still trying to get accustom to the new taskbar.
