They should, if they dont run when you run the exe right click on the file and go to properties>compatilbity>compatibility mode> then select your version of drivers.

I installed it on my netbook, and everything works perfectly. There is a security issue, where if I share the Public folder through a network, other users from another computer can access the Documents folders of the users on the netbook.

I never used Vista so its going to be awhile before I fully understand how everything works in 7

vista team got fired same with the IE 8 team | Windows 7 wasn't built "on" Vista. They were both build on the same kernel. Meaning they use the same core and explains why everything looks similar between the both of them. If it was built over Vista, it would have turned out to be worse. It's like Lotus. They use engines made by Toyota but yet they have an entirely different product.
In this case, it's what Vista should have been. A non-rushed OS.
I've installed Win 7 on my gaming rig and work laptop and both have installed perfectly fine with all drivers auto-detected and installed straight from the DVD. It also detected (on both machines) what hardware I was using and downloaded the latest updates.
Boot times is much faster. Operation is faster. And I can definitely tell that performance has definitely increased on the laptop. Vista was a piece of shit on my Dell but now it runs like a dream!

Not fired. Just moved to different projects. You have to have more than one dev team working on various projects otherwise they wouldn't have new IP (intellectual property).

I installed Windows 7 today. Installation was a breeze with it even installing all the drivers off the DVD. Smooth as butter, even faster than Vista.
W7 gets Hard's Gay stamp of approval, OKAY!
