    Hi all. Sorry if this is posted in the wrong area but I tried one 2 days ago and had no reply's (which I know is not indicative of this fine forum <g>). To the ppoint. Adore my new laptop. Not so fond of Vista. Like that is news. Anyhow I just want to know if any xps 1640 owner has achieved an install of Win 7 and managed to get all the various dell additions to work, ie dell camera facial recog, pinch touch pad, fual monitor etc. Feedback is so very much appreciated.
    Regards,
    J

    That (link) did the trick. I just wanted to know what if anything might be lost or rendered inoperable. Am installing Win 7 64 now. Thanks for the link.
