I noticed I'm in the list but without a version. I'm running Ultimate x64.

Went to the New Efficiency conference today. Was good fun, learned a bit, and got my free copy of Ultimate. Installed, too. :3

Same here, been running Ultimate x64 since it became available on MSDN so if it'd be possible to update the spreadsheet, it'd be great.

I entered my little thing on the spreadsheet. I actually run Ultimate x64 on three machines and Professional x64 on one.

Been using windows 7 since the beta and now I'm running professional on 3 of my computers... MSDNAA rocks I got 4 legitimate win7 pro keys off of there.

I came into 7 ready to hate it. Haven't switched back to XP yet. It's bloody brilliant.

I'm using Enterprise, doing some 'testing' for work.

Very good so far, i like the media center. Windows Update picked up the drivers for my TV card straight away and it plays flawlessly. Only trouble is trying to get the remote to work.

Default When to update drivers?

I am about to install Windows 7 on my new dream machine and I am wondering what to do about drivers. Is it better to download all the newest drivers written for Windows 7 ahead of time manually install them? Or should I just use the install disks that came with the mother board and gpu and let Windows auto update.

My card and board are pretty new, Asus ATI 5870 and Rampage II Extreme respectively.

Thanks.

I'd just install the drivers yourself after you install.

I had my video card drivers installed (Catalyst Drivers v9.10), and Windows Update "updated" my gfx drivers to Catalyst 9.7.

This is just 1 incident though, you may have better luck, but since downloading and installing the latest drivers isn't a big deal, I'd just do it manually.
