I want to purchase my first mac but i am still using some programs that i don't have on mac. I wonder how does windows 7 look at full 2800x1440 and at 100% default display setting and no custom text size. All 100%. Can anyone please take a printscreen and send it to me or post it here, if that's possible. Thank you.
Looking for Win 7 on MBPr on full resolution printscreen

I have a 27" iMac that dual boots Windows 7.
It's running at the native resolution of 2560 x 1440 if that's what you're after.
All default settings. Looks absolutely fine.
What are your concerns?

It may be worth a thread asking specifically for a 15" Retina MacBook screenshot running Windows 7 at Native res. That way a 15" retina Mac owner might spot the thread.
However. Unless you have access to a 15" retina machine you won't be able to view the screen shot at 1:1 to get a accurate idea of scaling

It's exactly what i want. A macbook pro retina onwer to send me a print screen and i'll use zoom to make the picture 15.4" on diagonal using my 24" monitor. It's not going to be exact but i'll get some idea on how small things will be. I have pretty good eyesight fortunatly. Thanks for all your help.

That's why I'm suggesting a specifically titled new thread as this one isn't clear that's it's aimed at 15" retina owners

Hmm, I have a 15" MBP retina and I have Windows 8, but it's not dual booting, it's in a vm so probably not much use to you.
I've never dual-booted a Mac before so haven't used Boot Camp. I can have a read and see what it entails. I'll get back to you.

Any fullscreen printscreen at max res. (if you can set the res. of windows 8 separatly) with the desktop and a webpage opened will be very helpful. Thank you.

I'll have a look at what's required and burn the Windows.iso to a disc. It'll take some time :Blushing:

I'm making the Windows usb flash drive now.
Assuming all goes well, how would you like me to post the screenshot? Or would you like to pm me with an email address? Can I send it full resolution that way?

Ok will do. I got into Windows and made a screenshot but couldn't connect to the internet, so had to go back to OSX.
Will email now. This is at 2880 x 1800 and the windows are small

Hope it arrived ok and was useful to you
I sorted out my BootCamp/Windows installation with the Support Software
I now have the same Windows 8 Pro in a Fusion vm and a Bootcamp installation on the same MBP - using the same product key! It took a phone call to MS, as the Bootcamp one didn't want to activate, but they sorted it
Result!
