Hi there, I've just stumbled upon your blog via searching google for 'second life windows 7' as I am unable to get my SL running on W7 without it crashing my computer entirely (screens black and no keyboard input recognised, closes all other programs but my computer tower lights still on) so that I have to restart everything. I'm only a newbie, desperately wanting to play, but wondering if maybe you have any advice?

Haha, the free beer comment is a Linux joke.
Linux is praised for being free as in free speech, as opposed to free beer. I do appreciate things being free as in free beer too, though! :)

Just doing a quick comment to see whether the little icons pick up Windows 7 and IE8.

Update: Firestats got the IE8 right but thought i was on Windows NT! I see! :)

Hi Springo, yeah i do believe it is a pretty good operating system. I'm amazed how stable and complete it seems to be, for a beta. If only it were free forever, i might just use it, ha!

Hey Noodle! Wonderful to hear from you again! I've heard conflicting reports: one that the requirements are just the same as Vista; and another that it has been optimized to work on low-spec netbooks. I know that they require 1GB of memory and 1GHz processor. For the Aero interface they recommend a graphics card which supports DirectX 9 and has 128MB memory.

Hi Aimee. Thanks for the extensive info and screenshots .

Just wondering about the hardware requirements. Roughly the same as for Vista? No use trying on a 4/5-year old P4 - 2.8 GHz?

It looks really good i think. MS finally started getting the act together.
I'm still running a download, after having several connection breaks.
