I was able to install Notes 7 today fine, the installer run as expected under both a win 2000 bottle and an XP bottle. When trying to configure notes however every time I tried to use the open file dialog box the application would crash. I got around this placing my existing Notes id into the the notes data directory within the bottle I was testing, and then used Notes ini file from my windows work pc to edit the config. This allowed me to skip the configuration and process directly to the Notes desktop from there my mail open file and databased would only if there where in the notes data directory or you had referenced them in the ini file. Notes connected to my domino server fine and operated as one would expect. Once the open file dialog bug is worked out the application will be very usable.
I was also able to open Notes administrator and edit and register a new users on the domino server
