Introduction
Windows 7 is stable, smooth, and highly polished, introducing new graphical features, a new taskbar that
can compete handily with the Mac OS X dock, and device management and security enhancements that
make it both easier to use and safer. Importantly, it won't require the hardware upgrades that Vista
demanded, partially because the hardware has caught up, and partially because Microsoft has gone to
great lengths to make Windows 7 accessible to as many people as possible.
It's important to note that the public testing process for Windows 7 involved one limited-availability beta
and one release candidate, and constituted what some have called the largest shareware trial period ever.
As buggy and irritating as Vista was, Windows 7 isn't. Windows 7 is a beast of an operating system. It can
run on old hardware wonderfully well, unlike its predecessor Windows Vista which required major
hardware upgrades for several organizations which were till then using relatively old hardware to give
them optimum performance. In this respect, you can look at Windows 7, as the successor to Windows XP
that Microsoft wishes Vista had been, and finally places it on competitive footing with other major
operating systems like Mac OS X and Linux.
Microsoft is offering six versions of Windows 7: Starter, Home Premium, Professional, Ultimate, OEM, and
Enterprise. The three versions that Redmond will be promoting most heavily are Home Premium,
Professional, and Ultimate, although Starter will also be available to consumers.
Windows 7 will support both 32-bit and 64-bit systems. The bare minimum requirements for the 32-bit
include a 1GHz processor, 1GB RAM, 16GB available hard-disk space, and a DirectX 9 graphics device
with WDDM 1.0 or higher driver. 64-bit systems will require at least a 1 GHz processor, 2GB RAM, 20GB
of free space on your hard drive, and a DirectX 9 graphics device with WDDM 1.0 or higher driver. A
touch-screen monitor is required to take advantage of the native touch features. Do note that some users
have claimed to have limited success running the Windows 7 beta with less than 1GB of RAM, but that's
not recommended.
In this Hands-on Systems Integration Training Lab, we’re going undertake a step-by-step installation,
configuration of Windows 7.
This project was demonstrated entirely using VMware; however, once you perfect the setup and
configuration steps, you can migrate to physical servers to take advantage of the power of Windows 7.
