Installing Windows 7 on HTC Shift

Mitchell Oke over at Gear Diary has isntalled Windows 7 onto the HTC Shift. It is exciting to see life beeing entered into an old product. With the excitement going aroudn the world with Windows 7 it is nice to see people getting their old devices and giving them a new life. Check it out over here.

Another trend that’s come up in the last month or so is loading up Windows 7 onto netbooks, since it is aiming to be a leaner, meaner version of Windows that Vista should have been. After dabbling with XP and absolutely loving the speed boost it offered over Vista on the Shift’s frankly pathetic 800Mhz processor and 1GB RAM, I decided to give Windows 7 a chance. After imaging my XP install (since it was working perfectly, I didn’t want to have to set it up all over again if I wanted to return), I connected up my USB DVD drive and began the install.
