Windows 7 on the Apricot PicoBook Pro
Another adventurous soul has gone ahead and installed the Windows 7 pre-beta on a netbook system. This time it’s David Meyer over at ZDNet UK and the target system is the Apricot PicoBook Pro netbook. Here’s a brief excerpt from the posting:
“Up and running, and with reasonable speed, too. I haven’t tried sticking Vista on the Apricot PicoBook Pro – I’m fairly confident it would be a disaster – but Windows 7 actually seems to work on the bloody thing!”
This isn’t too surprising considering many other users have reported similar experiences on their respective netbook systems. The best part is – Windows 7 is a long way from being feature complete and optimized. I expect good things to come for the OS and netbook systems!
