I recently purchased a HP Pavilion DV7-2180US with Vista 64 bit Home Premium. I'm a member of technet and decided to install Windows 7 Ultimate. Well today I was on the HP and noticed they have the drivers for Windows 7 for my laptop. The one noticeable issue i had was my volume control touch button was orange (which mean off) even when I had sound turned on. I didn't have any issues with my ATI graphics card but i installed the new drivers anyways.

I then went out to the Acer site to look for Windows 7 drivers but they are there yet.
