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. |
You can run a lot of games straight from the exe without having to install them, regardless of OS. Works great for setting up and distributing games for LANs, copy the folder around and you are all set. |
