I figured it was time for a follow up on the adventure that is running Windows 7 on a Mac. I was able to install Star Trek Online and participate for a short time in the open beta. Now that the game has hit the head start period I have hit the ground running while taking my time working through the quests.
I have had some issues with Windows, I have never seen so many BSODs on any other Windows based computers that I have owned. There was an update to the drivers last night and hopefully now that they have been applied I will no longer see the BSOD. The computer is just over the minimum requirements for Star Trek Online so there are a few graphical glitches since I have the settings at mid to high. There have only been two instances where I have had to dial back the quality to make the game playable. I am looking at building a machine with better specs and that should resolve any issues that I am having.
The one thing I am missing the most is having access to my entire iTunes library and having that streamed to my HDTV, but building a new system will resolve that since I will be able to use the Mac as my media server.
One of the minor annoyances that I am having is with the IR port on the Mac. Unfortunately it is picking up any remote that is used around it and will deactivate the screen saver or wake the monitor from sleep but that is something minor and doesn’t have any lasting repercussions on overall use.
Figured I would post an update since it has been a while.
