    Ok so like a month ago I upgraded to A06 BIOS, that supposedly fixed alot of stuff.

    Ok so now Windows 7 has been out and fully available to College students IT Pros etc.

    So I am browsing the Dell Studio 17 site for new driver and what not and I see A07 BIOS?? and I am like ?? another BIOS so soon. What could it possibly do.

    All DELL says is that "Adds Windows 7 support"


    gee could they be more specific?? this thing was $1,300 ITS NOT A TOY.

    And they are late to the game because I was this close to installing Windows 7, but decided to wait for my own copy on DVD next month.


    I mean its rare that I visit the Driver Page, even less people out of the millions of 1737 owners even know about BIOS A07 and will install W7 without A07 BIOS
