So I already admitted to installing W7 to my desktop, and added my trusty Linux Mint desktop into it's own partition.
I think I have now seen it all, replaced the somewhat "aged" ATI 64 MB video AGP card with a newer EVGA 512 MB card. All seemed well. Not much change to the Linux side of the house. I did have to install the new proprietary Nvidia drivers to get my desktop Compiz back in high gear. All in all, it rocks!
In Windows 7, it rocked, literally. I now have a paperweight in the Windows partition. I did find out int his little experiment that W7 STILL HAS Blue screens of Death. They also have the previously shared new black screens of death. The really newsworthy thing to this all is W7 comes with some really great support screens if your PC doesn't load that driver as well as it reported. On my PC, it reported a reboot to use the new driver was in order. Then, blue screen of death and about 1/2 hour troubleshooting and still no running Windows 7. Lots of really cool options to fix the situation, and miraculously, none of them worked.
Still, it was encouraging, although fruitless on this PC.
I'm a PC, but I'm not Windows...
