I've seen that effect (multiple copies of printer drivers) on Win2K and XP, this is the first I've heard of it on Win7. Maybe a permissions problem? Google is your friend...

I've mostly been installing Pro or Ultimate. The Home versions only drive me up a wall with their limitations with regard to networking and such.

I have Windows 7 Home on a Toshiba 64 bit laptop. MOST of my old software will install and run with no problems on it. It didn't give me any problems with networks (multiple broadband accts as well as home networking).

I also have it installed on a vintage 2003 desktop with 4 gig ram, sata hard drives and dvd/rw. I did have to find a software upgrade for my brother 4 in 1 to install scan on the desktop (the vista drivers work fine). I used an upgrade on this pc, but did a clean install on the drive.

I've been very happy with Windows 7.
