Vista to Windows 7 Upgrades Fail Because of Intel Storage Driver.
For the development process of Windows 7, Microsoft has worked closely with hardware manufacturers in order to ensure seamless compatibility and support for the latest iteration of the Windows client. This strategy has put Windows 7 light years away from Windows Vista in terms of incompatibility issues, but still, there are exceptions “designed” to confirm the rule. According to Microsoft, there are users that experienced failures when upgrading from Vista to Windows 7 because of an Intel storage driver.

Hmmmmm, I performed an upgrade on my PC and had that storage driver. The upgrade was successful, but when I saw the article posted on Softpedia, I saw that I already was running the version that was posted by Intel.

I suppose that was a good thing, for me.
