Driver support for Windows 7 is excellent! How old is your laptop?

Nearly every modern laptop will be able to get all the drivers via Windows Update if the installation media missed any.

Dark Star has already posted that article, and i have been through it, and from nowhere in that article did i infer a meaning similar to "the superbar is still a baby bar in front of the mighty OSX Dock". Your statement would make more sense if you would change it to
according to "rahulduggal" , the superbar is still a baby bar in front of the mighty OSX Dock hyeah:

I wish there was a way to figure out the Show desktop quick launch button.Everything else is uber cool in windows 7 except for the native Driver support ,but its natural to except it from a beta OS.
