    I'm curious if anyone has done this.

    Do the drivers work for the touchscreen/waycom stuff? Any other caveats.

    My experience with Windows 7 on "regular" laptops has been good, but haven't gone down the tablet route yet.

    Thanks.

    My former colleague had his tx2020 (I think, with 6150 graphics) installed with 7. No problems, worked wonderfully. He installed the first public beta and later switched to the RTM version doing a full reinstall. Few Vista drivers from HP was needed but most of the important stuff worked straight away.

    I think the biggest "problem" is that after using Win7 for a while, you actually want to buy it. It gets expensive: I want to upgrade it into all my computers I have here ;)
