A comment on Wall Street Journal: Even in Test Form, Windows 7 Leaves Vista in the Dust.

Compatibility with hardware and software, which was a problem in Vista, seems far better in Windows 7 -- even in the beta. I tried a wide variety of hardware, including printers, Web cams, external hard disks and cameras, and nearly all worked fine.

I'm not sure I understand how this could be true. Unless he means "Compatibility with Windows 7 seems far better than Vista at its release." I mean, I doubt hardware manufacturers are providing better support for 7 in beta than they are for Vista, and honestly, I haven't run into any compatibility issues with Vista since I started using it.

'which was a problem in Vista'

And since most of those problems have been resolved and Windows 7 is using the Vista driver model, most people shouldn't have issues with drivers if they weren't having issues with Vista.
