You can actually enter no key at all (just leave the field blank) and it will install. However, unless you activate it with a valid key, it will only work for 30 days.
The taskbar has had Quicklaunch since the dawn of time. Thats no different than how it is now, the icons are just bigger. Really, the taskbar/dock comparison needs to stop. Even linux users are claiming MS stole it from them... In vista/xp/2000 (did 98 and 95 have program gourping?) you could right-click on one item in the taskbar and see what windows were open for it. If you had Grouping on, that is. This isnt a new feature and they did not steal it form apple. . (extra period for emphasis)
"oh noes! ms made something that looks good, they cant have though tof the idea themselves!"

graphics problem
i installed windows 7 on boot camp and everything seems to be working fine, except my graphics card. It seems it didn't install any driver for it, tests come up with something like "Generic VGA Adapter" and all the games that came with it tell me they're using software acceleration. any help?
Edit: aluminum imac with the Nvidia 8800
Edit 2: Nevermind, Windows Update found a driver download for me.

Share the wealth.
Where can I get my copy? I keep trying to download from http://www.neowin.net/news/main/09/01/09/windows-7-public-beta-released-remember-to-patch and getting to ~80% complete then "error failed to mount"
That's not where we point people, thanks.
Halo? I don't know...
If it works, that's great. My friends were having trouble with MapleStory and DX8 things, mainly, I guess.
It's peer-to-peer. Every site associated with said material is also used for illegal purposes.

Have them run it in Windows XP compatibility, that usually takes care of older games (or win95 for the real old ones).
thats about as silly as not talking about google because you can search for porn on it
Meh
IMHO I think Windows 7 looks like crap with its poor facsimile of the Dock. I prefer Vista in all honesty. I mean, great if they've improved under-the-hood performance, but the eye candy ain't there for me.
But the upshot is that today I've fallen in love with Leopard again - done a ton of multi-tasking, virtual machines, listening to music, watching video, email, web and it's never skipped a beat. Amen to that.

Really, then why when I run the Boot Camp setup.exe does it say "Windows Vista or XP required for install." and shut down?
You can get to all the other basic drivers by installing them manually from the drivers folder on the Leopard disc. However, the brightness and function keys are controlled by Apple's tray program. The tray program is not included the drivers folder on the Leopard disc.
You also can't run the update for Boot Camp drivers because it requires the Boot Camp.exe to be installed before running.
Edit: Doesn't work if you copy the setup.exe to your hard drive and force it to run as administrator and Vista compatibility mode either.
I got this when i try to portion it for 32gb for windows 7....
Either move a substantial amount of data off your hard drive onto an external drive, reformat and reinstall Leopard or buy a defrag program like iDefrag.
It's a fragmentation issue.
