For a giggle, I thought I’d try this out.
I downloaded both the 32- and 64-bit versions to run in VMWare on my Mac, however, looking at the downloaded DVD images, I couldn’t tell which was which. Only one worked, however, and that was the 64-bit version.
First impressions? Well, like others have said, it is much quicker than Vista and in VMWare with 1GB to play with, it’s just as quick as XP, maybe even a bit quicker.
It has a very Mac-like dock – I like it.
But it crashed when trying to use 64-bit Java. Complete lock-up.
Oh well, it is a beta.
Looks promising for 2010, or whenever it’s supposed to be released.
