    easy way to find out ...........
    Try it :)
    i would have thought you'll be fine m8, windows 7 is full to the brim with drivers and you can use vista drivers if there aren't any specific win 7 ones

    Also, Dell have posted some Windows 7 drivers for current notebooks.

    Check the Dell download site.

    Toskana, I am planning to buy Vostro 1014 too:). I´d like to know how long you are able to use your notebook on a fully charged battery? (you have Primary 6-cell 48W/HR LI-ION, am I right?)
    Thanks!

    hey, yes i have the Primary 6-cell 48W/HR LI-ION. its about 3 hours with wifi and medium use.
    its a good laptop, the only problem that disturb me, is the fan is a bit noisy some of the time.
