13. At some point, near the end of the installation, Windows boots for the first time. It lives!
14. This was an interesting detail during the boot process:
15. All of the services apparently start firing up, as the boot process continues.
16. And for some reason, we’re allowed to go back and look at this status dialog one more time.
17. And then back to the main boot screen. (Are you starting to feel as if you were really there)?
18. Oh, this is a nice little touch. No screen flickers or anything, but nice to know that it’s “checking” my video performance. (Whatever that means).
19. Now Windows is more or less running and we start doing some of the final configuration stuff. First, we specify a default username. This will be the Administrator user account. Seeing a PC name of “PC” also makes me think of John Hodgman and the Mac switcher ads.
21. And (of course) the product activation key. Wouldn’t it be cool if every key had a barcode and I could use a barcode scanner at this point? (My key did not have a barcode).
25. Ok, here’s one of the first really new things to show up. A “homegroup” is basically a relabeled “workgroup”—something short of a domain. I’m wondering if I’d chosen Work location in the earlier screen, if I’d now be joining a domain.
28. And TA-DA!! The Windows 7 installation is complete and we’re sitting at the desktop screen. Note that I don’t have that cool new taskbar in the build that was handed out at PDC. More on that next time—the new taskbar is actually in the build and Rafael Rivera has found a hack to unlock it.
