    I have here a TX2HP and try Windows 7 Beta1.
    All fine with the driver but the problem are the FN Button and Volume Buttons.

    I disable the UAC

    I try the driver for Vista in the right order

    also import for all Intel 900/915 GM/GMS for graphic devices

    Right click the desktop, choose SCREEN RESOLUTION.
    Look for "ADVANCED SETTINGS"
    Choose the troubleshooting tab
    Click "CHANGE SETTINGS"
    Move the bar left untill Direct 3D is disabled

    to play video or similar programs e.g. Live Messenger 9

    I thing the perfomance is very good.. from bootmenu to desktop.. 1minute...
    But the lack of drivers is the battery time worse than in XP.
    for me was not yet possible to activate the FN keys..
