[mesa-users] mesa on Windows 7 64

[Aaron Dotter]

Hi,

Just to follow up on Bill's statement:

If you're willing to dive into Linux (which will require time and patience
if you've never used it before), you can run any number of Linux
distributions in a virtual machine under Windows.  Once you've got a VM
running Linux, the MESA installation process will proceed as described on
the webpage.

Programs like VirtualBox will enable you to do this.  VIrtualBox and many
Linux distributions are free of charge.

Aaron
