I will second that. Everything worked on my machine from a fresh win7 install. But I think its worth pointing out that a Win7 installation in 2 years time will have the same driver problems as Vista/XP now. The reason that Linux always has "good" support for drivers is that its updated/released so often (6 months in Ubuntu's case). If windows was released that often it would be the same. Of course, who would be willing to fork out £200 every six months :) -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
