Two major driver problems with Win7
It’s unknown that whether it’s for minimize the system weight or improve the system installing speed, drivers for Windows 7 are fewer than XP and VISTA. Microsoft proposed that they will integrate the crucial hardware drivers and strengthen Windows7 online driver updating function.
Online driver updating would be a good way to make Windows 7 much more smaller as well as faster the installing speed. However, the truth is even it’s the main hardware drivers, they still have got compatibility problems. What’s more, the online driver updating function is not perfect either.
