Mac OS X 10.4.6

Finally got mac OS X up and running on vmware workstation . However , it is awfully slow to use on it because firstly you can't install vmware tools on it and secondly only one processor can be used. If two processors are selected then it simply won't boot up. So there's practically no point installing it on a vm unless you just want to play around with it , although there isn't much stuff that you can do. Anyway , here are the screens:

Windows 7 (beta)

Just installed Windows 7 on a virtual machine .
The specs of the virtual machine are
Core 2 quad (2.4ghz) (2 processors)
1 gb Ram
30 gb HDD

To be honest it's much better than vista although i couldn't use the dedicated video card in it since the virtual machine used it's own graphic accelerator. But otherwise it's very stable and great performance .
In short, it's vista with some polish and excluding all the bugs in vista. I'll definitely be making this my primary OS once the full version is out . Currently i'll have to live with vista
