Windows 7 Makes Me SOOO DAMNED HAPPY!!! - Commercial

Raaagh says...

>> ^deathcow:
I've been running Windows 7 x64 in a virtualbox session for a week now.
First blue screen - I found it ran a bit slower when I allowed it access to all 8 CPU threads (i7 processor = 4 core + 4 HT) So I changed virtualbox settings to only give it 4 cores. Blue screen, unrepairable. Rebuild.
Second bluescreen was trying to find audio drivers for Intel motherboard (again through virtualbox). This I used windows restore point for and it did restore. Still no audio though.
I think these are both my fault, as its a bit unfair to fluidly adjust the number of CPU in your system and expect Windows to compensate. And, virtualbox audio drivers are a bit weird I guess so i cant fault it there. Still, a bit disheartening to see blue screens still, you would have thought they would have at least changed the color to get away from the stigma of it : )
On the plus side its very responsive even though running in a virt machine. I am able to play HD video for example. The core i7 cpu has VtX extensions which I suppose help a lot. I am not used to all the new interface quirks yet.

well, you are running thro virtualisation.

Apparently you can put it on shite little netbooks, that impresses me.

Hey, sweet link! Now all I need to do is build a MAME box and I'm good to go. One day... [thumbs]

You should visit this site:

The torrents don't work so great, try mirrors 2 or 3 for any of the downloads. I sometimes play this through my HT receiver in Dolby Pro Logic mode, which does a nice job of surrounding me in arcade ambiance.

Ah, that noise....you know, all the attract modes playing at once. I miss that ambient noise.

It's not a separate production. From Weta:

Weta Workshop are supplying a range of products for all the Halo shorts, in a collaboration between Bungie Studios, director Neill Blomkamp, Weta Workshop, Origami Digital LLC and HT Limited.

We have created a fully functioning four wheel drive Warthog, with a working gun, digital displays, airbags and the ability for the Warthog to crab crawl as well as four wheel steer.
