Windows 7 Driver - No major changes from Vista  

Driver Compatability - Mobius 2008 conference

"When it comes to compatibility, if it works with Windows Vista, it should work with Windows 7. There are no major API changes, which is a critical point: that means that if there's a Vista driver for your hardware, that should work under Windows 7 without issue. That's great news, because driver issues were one of the top frustrations for people moving to Windows Vista with XP-era hardware. Windows 7 will be more reliable as well - there are some improvements in reliability and self-diagnosis. There will be fewer prompts for user account control for instance, and in fact the default will be at a lower threshold than it was for Vista. There will be more controls for the user regarding account approvals, and it will be more discoverable than it was in the past."

Seems to be the case. The Vista drivers I've installed in Seven all seem to be working fine.

Oops. Spoke too soon. Just tried to install Nvidia's 180.84 geforce driver and it said this driver was for Vista. Installation will be terminated. Hope they fix that soon. Compatability mode didn't help.

Update: Found a W7 driver (7.15.11.8084) here. http://catalog.update.microsoft.com/

I was having problems with 6936 x64 so wiped the partition and installed build 7000 instead. All 32 bit at the moment. Hope to change that soon.
