    Hey everyone, I'm just curious if anyone knows the state of LGs software/drivers on Windows 7. I'm curious to try out the beta, but I'm afraid that my wireless won't work because the LG On Screen Display Software might possibly not install.

    I have an LG R-405, and I'm curious if any one has been brave enough to venture into the Windows 7 Beta, and what their results are (driver wise)

    I have a P300 and am dual booting the 32bit Vista home premium that came stock along with the windows 7 beta 64 bit and wireless works fine, had to download nvidia drivers for video card but i am trying to figure out why 7 thinks my battery is bad lol but you should be ok just dual boot so you still have your vista

    I am using win7 ultimate beta, vista ultimate sp1 and xp pro sp3 on my p1. No problem at all just install vista drivers on win 7. No problem encountered at all. Make sure you verify the system specs. you need 128MB video card. Aero cannot be disabled in win 7. battery life is the same though. seem like the best os for now. :) enjoy...
