No aero offcourse, but it worked, smoother than XP (think 34 processes right after install). Only problem was not being able to get online because no driver was installed for NIC. I don't know whether this was because of Win7 still being in test-version, or the antique components in that PC not being supported anymore. Actually this applies to more components, such as sound cards.
Word of advice: 
If you plan on putting this on your primary and perhaps only PC, collect all the drivers you need after intalling Win7 beforehand. |
That's good advice
!!! From what I've heard and read, 7 is better about finding hardware than Vista was when released (had nightmares 'o plenty with that)! Once I figure out what hardware I'm going to have I'll start collecting drivers on my flash drive.
