How-To: Install Windows 7 and live to tell about it {Engadget}
Aug 12th 2009 2:12PM 32 bit RC works fine on a new iMac and MacBook Pro (2008 version) in both VMWare and native.
However, 64 bit only works on a Mac Pro for some reason. For one, Apple only provides the 64 bit drivers for these machines, but besides that I could not get the 64 bit win 7 boot disk to work on the laptop and didn't bother on the iMac.
I would use the RC and wait for the retail version, no reason to stick to XP now.

Jul 1st 2009 10:22AM I am curious to see how to implement advertising in "open video". I have a feeling ad-supported video sites (like my employer) aren't going to be interested in browser-based ad logic (that I assume can be easily circumvented), but I am sure this will come up in our competitive reviews. I hear all the talk about the death of Flash, but I don't see it happening any time soon unless there is a way to enforce business logic in the browser that is as effective as a compiled swf.

Dude, do you actually work in web programming? I've been building sites for over 10 years. I am an ActionScript developer now, and know intimately the strengths and limitations of the Flash Platform. To say HTML is "a thing of beauty" is absurd, and you really undermine your credibility saying dumb shit like that. HTML is friggin hoax. JavaScript in the browser would be even funnier if it weren;t so sad. The one thing Flash has going for it over its browser-dependent ancestors is a relatively stable VM that runs on all target platforms as expected. Does Flash have issues? Of course. Are there dumbasses out there writing terrible Flash applications? Of course. But the market has proven that Flash is a robust and viable medium for online apps, especially video. You need to get your head examined if you think the people working with HTML 5 have a clue about the intricacies of video. Putting video on the internet as a business venture is a hell of a lot more complicated than you may know. I do it all day, every day.
By the way, Adobe enabled "view source" in the Flash Player to further adoption of the language (and mimic one of the key strengths of HTML), but unfortunately it is not often used by developers.
