    I have a Lenovo T61 with Vista Business 64 installed. I want to try out the new Windows 7 Beta. Has anyone tried this on any lenovo laptops yet? How is driver support? will i run into any surprises?

    I have an R61 and I've found it to be completely compatible. It even solved a few "issues" out of the box. I haven't gotten around to installing System Update yet, but I'm having fairly good luck with installing Vista drivers in Windows 7. Basically, if you're thinking of doing it, I would say go for it.

    I can't speak for the T61 but I have it running on my W500 perfectly. Win7 is pretty bug-free.
