    My wife A105-s4074 had windows 7 drivers available in a nice 30 mb download. One-click install. However, Sony can't be bother to support my son's FZ-348e/b bought July 2008. Really? Sony you have lost 1 customer over this.

    I am LITERALY still paying for my VGN-SZ220!!! It really hacked me off that they can't do 7 drivers for this model. IBM, Toshiba even DELL is doing support for their older models. I guess Sony thinks we have more money than sence! I will rny laptop until it drops. Then I will buy an Apple over a Sony!

    Did you check for the correct country and model at this site: http://www.kb.sony.com/selfservice/...ES_1_1&dialogID=58174507&stateId=1 0 58176023

    It's my understanding from speaking to a rep a few months ago that the drivers will be available but not the full upgrade for models purchased a year ago. Perhaps email [email protected] and ask the question.
