I installed Vistas 7 RC1 on my Acer Aspire 7220, with these isues:
- 1400x900 flatscreen was recognized as a 800x600 CRT;
- Nvidia Geoforce 7000M GPU was recognized as a standard VGA adapter;
- Nvidia nForce Ethetnet adapter was not recognized at all;
- Atheros PCI WLAN adapter was not recognized at all.
I downloaded the Vista drivers from the Acer website on my Fedora 10
machine (Pleunix) and copied them to a USB thumbdrive. Installed them on
Vista 7. However I was still unable to make any connection (neither
wired nor wireless) to "the Internet".
Vista 7 didn't understood that my Sitecom (Linux) wireless
router/firewall/switch/nat only serves as a access point and switch
behind another router. That is obviously too complicated for Vista 7.
After 12 hours I gave up and re-installed Ubuntu 9.04 on that machine.
My final conclusion: Vista 7 is even worst that Vista if it's not
preinstalled.
I am wondering if people are stupid enough to pay for that piece of
junkware.
Cheers
