System reinstall
At the end of last week I’ve decided to install Windows 7 on my laptop. That I did, and while I was at it I also formatted my hard drive hoping that it’ll clear up the mess that it was before. All this is nice and good, but know I’m facing a few questions regarding the software to-be-installed.
For a start I’ve always had this idea of keeping separate virtual drives for development purposes. For example I’d have one for .NET development, one for PHP/Java/whatever, and another one for OSDev. Problem with this approach is that I don’t really have enough free space on my hard drive to have – say – three Windows 7 virtual installs next to the running system. Thinking of going the Linux or UNIX way for the latter two, but I’m not quite sure yet.
p.s.: I’ve a separate USB keyboard finally, which is cool. Not to mention the English keyboard layout…

It’s good to read that you’ve changed your operating system to Windows 7. I’ve been using that for a month and I really satisfied with it. By the way I have a Mac but I like trying the new windows. It’s really impressive, much more than Vista.
I’m looking forward to your next post
Impressive, yes. On the surface. However, after using it for only two days, I’ve just experienced my first BSD in a very long time. Never happened under Vista.
Btw, I was installing the recommended updates from Windows Update… No obvious reason, none that I see at least.
