I decided to download and install Windows 7 Beta to start having a look at it. I’m hearing and reading very positive things. This post especially makes Windows 7 sound like it’s going to be something I’ll love. I’ve been longing for a power-user-friendly version of Windows for many years. I’m very much looking forward to it, but I’m certainly not ready to run it on any of my machines as a main OS. I created a new VPC image for it, and immediately ran into problems.
This post describes exactly what the problem is
There appears to be an issue with Virtual Machine Additions and SP1 of VPC 2007 fixes the it.
Just follow the instructions in the first link describing the problem, install SP1, and then install Virtual Machine Additions and you should be good to go. As always, you need the Virtual Machine Additions for the performance and user experience of a VPC VM to be acceptable. With the proper version installed, Windows 7 feels smooth and right
