The new iMac with its 27” LED display and core i7 goodness, slim profile and drop dead gorgeous looks lacks just one thing. It doesn’t run Windows 7 out of the box. Snow Leopard and the lackluster  Apple supplied software notwithstanding, I was still drooling at how big a code window I could get if I fired  up Visual Studio 2010 in this baby. Here’s a step by step guide to matching the most beautiful (if not the best) hardware with the most useful OS of all times – Installing Windows 7 on iMAC 27” Core i5/i7.

Microsoft Windows 7 is now in RC. For those of you excited by the new OS, here’s a first look at the Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate install process on Hyper V.

Total time to install : less than 30 minutes, including answering the Setup wizard.

Verdict: Highly recommended if you’re on XP; wait for the final version if you’re on Vista.
