Full Windows 7 Support Coming to Mac's Soon
You knew this was going to happen. When a brand spanking new operating system is released, everyone wants to get their hands on it. But when you think about it, companies, like Apple, have lots of time to make sure that it'll work correctly. This is why we have release RTM (release to manufacture) versions of operating systems.
But from what it seems like, Apple really took some of their time off. I can give them some slack because they are working on lots of different things right now.
Some people have already tried installing Windows 7, one of the best operating systems ever to be produced out ofRedmond, Washington, with no avail. They can install the operating system fine, but some users have reported strange behaviors.
These strange behaviors can include the Mac to run a slow speeds, to have Apple's new Magic Mouse not work properly in Windows, even though there are Windows drivers, and even to the extent of failure to boot back into OS X. It's also reported that some even fail to get transparency working, or Aero as they call it in Windows 7 (and even Vista for that matter).
According to some news from AppleInsider, Apple was already having plans to get the Windows 7 compatibility issues out of the way by the end of the year in October. They didn't seem to be slacking at all, but it does seem that Apple is running into some issues. Which I cannot blame them, mainly for the fact that Microsoft pretty much redesigned everything in Windows 7; wait a minute, Apple redesigned a lot of things in their new operating system too; Finder for example.
On that note, Apple will hopefully be releasing the update(s) to make your Windows 7 run just like it does on a PC.
If you own a Mac and tried Windows 7 on Boot Camp, how have your experiences been?
Stalk me on social media! Any other way would just be creepy…
