A few days ago Microsoft begged hardware makers to not to screw Windows 7 like Vista.

Today Microsoft revealed some staggering figures showing how often driver installations fail in Vista.

Microsoft is hoping for zero hardware install problems when Windows 7 finally hits the market, but is that really realistic when more than 10% of printer drivers for Vista are still failing to work properly?

Those 10% of printers are pretty shitty and old not to work with Vista.

Get a new printer if its THAT old.

Yes this is perfectly possible and action is already being taken.
Brother have already made Win7 drivers.
