    Because I just did, straight from xp running to windows 7 didn't have to install one single driver. Impressed me immensely compared to the hassle of vista and xp. I still think xp is the best, but in time 7 may sway me.

    Techguy - something to be aware of if you're going W7 way. I tried the beta on my PC (and really liked it BTW!), however, it couldn't detect my SB Audigy 2 sound card nor my Dell A940 printer. And no drivers were available for them :(. I decided to rollback to XP as didn't fancy buying a new Sound Card & printer....

    Windows Update has drivers for the Audigy and X-Fi cards.
