Downloaded and Installed Windows 7

I've finally installed the Windows 7 that I've downloaded. There's at least a new feature that you can see at the very first time you install and run Windows 7. That's the homegroup, wow.. now you can create little communities of Computers! See the screenshot for more explaination.

And ofcourse, if you want to give it a try, you can do so:

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-7/

Btw, this is my installation log:

VPC: 512MB RAM, 20GB Virtual HDD

Start Installation: 10:39pm

Abort Installation: 10:53pm

Reason: Too slow

VPC: 1GB, 20GB Virtual HDD

Put over night to install

And wake up in the morning, everything is up, but it take ages still to start the very first time.

Cheers!

Why I use Google instead of Live Search

I wanted to try out Windows 7 which Microsoft had just released to everyone in Beta form.

So the very first thing, I do a search. And very quickly I get to the download page and I need to login with my live ID, so I logged in and no luck, it gave me a turning bubble and nothing else.

So I guess, for sure I need to use Internet Explorer right?

I turn to my IE8 beta and try my luck with the Live Search (give them a chance right), since it is a Microsoft stuff, I expect to get the link in the top few list.

But.. see for yourself:

Search "Download Windows 7" on google, I got the link to microsoft on the 1st page, 7th link.

Search "Windows 7" on google, I got it on the 3rd link in the 1st page.

I'm sorry Live Search, it clearly shows that I never get to the Microsoft Windows 7 page fron the 1st page of the search result from Live Search. And that means, it is rather a waste of time to search on Live Search in view of this kind of result.
