    Working on Studio 1555, Win7 64 bit. All the drivers are working and it no doubt is great experience!
    Before buying I asked Dell whether they have any option of getting Windows7 later on release, and as usual Dell reps were really dumb and didn't know anything about Windows 7.

    btw anyone got that display brightness control working on 1555?

    The new option of controlling lcd brightness has been added in Win7.

    I got it working with vista drivers on ati 2300 display on my VAIO. But for newer chipset on 1555, ie, 4570 this option is simply not present.
