Ive installed win 7 4 times on 4 different systems from a old socket 754 nf3,to high end newer stuff.Every time win 7 installed drivers for (almost)all hardware.
Sure some of these drivers may not be the newest in some cases,but My point is Win 7 seems real good with hardware drivers.REAL GOOD.
Every piece* of My hardware worked after installing win 7,from x-fi to printer,lan,dvd drives,etc.
*had to install drivers for:tv tunner,and for logitech g-7 k/b,
Win 7 install was the first time Ive had op/sys. where everything worked after install...,Nice.
