    I checked a couple hours ago to see if there were Windows 7 drivers up yet and the site was down for me, so I hope so!

    Not yet. I was just in there looking. The old link is now back up and they've moved the support forum to another page.

    But when looking at those drivers referred to in the Windows 7 drivers thread remember that most of the drivers are still labeled "BETA". Although I expect many of them just to be released as-is when Windows 7 finally hits stores this week. :)

    Many poeple here (including myself) have been using these drivers, but I thought I would point out the "BETA" thing, because I know it might bother someone :)

    Support site is up again, but no new win7 driver. I was hoping they would release the hotkey driver (or the intel graphic driver, whichever one is the culprit) that will fix the issue with no brightness indicator.
    Oh well :(
    On the other note, a firmware update for Intel SSD gen 1 is up. No, it's not the TRIM supported firmware, since Intel already says that they won't release TRIM support for gen 1 drive.

    All new Win7 drivers are up now. Never mind the fact that the date stamp for release is Oct 2. I can guarantee that they weren't up there before.
