I noticed something interesting when I installed Windows 7.
Windows 7 went on a different 80GB Seagate drive than the Vista install. So the Vista drive is now sitting on a shelf.
After Windows 7 was set-up, patched, etc. For laughs I started up WoW which is installed on a 500GB drive. WoW started right up, as if I had not changed the OS (all plug-ins, and settings were intact). I tried Crysis, Heroes of Might and Magic V, Hawx, CoD: World at War, Titan Quest, and Neverwinter Nights. All of them started right up without having to reinstall.
When I re-do the drive for Win7 RC I'm going to install MS Office/Photoshop to the second drive to see if they work the same way. |
That's INTERESTING!!! Good to know that. I guess that Windows 7 has great backward compatibility with Vista!
