I am trying Windows 7 Beta(7077)

I have installed the latest iTunes but my 2G iPhone is not recognized
when connected via the dock, I get a 'USB devise not recognized' error
and no drivers are installed.

Any solutions?

Probably the USB drivers are marked for installation on specific
operating systems, and have detected Windows7 and bailed out.

I had problems installing the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi on Windows
2003 server. See if you can find that file and try loading it again.

If it doesn't, then google my post "iTunes 8.1.1 on Windows 2003 server"
in uk.comp.sys.mac

How do you like 7.0? More like XP or Vista?

I extracted the .msi from the iTunes installer and installed it in Vista
compatibility mode which seems to have worked for the moment.

Thanks

Like Vista but it seems more responsive and more stable at the moment.
I'm only two weeks in but I'm happy so far. I'm more interested in the
Media Centre side of 7, testing this weekend.

Microsoft revealed that Windows 7 would offer an optional,
downloadable Windows XP virtual machine today to provide full
backwards compatibility. Veteran Windows watchers Rafael Rivera and
Paul Thurrott of SuperSite for Windows were given the nod to release
the secret.

The Windows XP Mode won't ship with Windows 7, but will be available
as a free download for Professional, Enterprise, and Ultimate system
owners.

I read elsewhere, but I can't remember where, that upgrading from XP to
Win7 would be a nightmare, but upgrading from Vista would be very easy.

Is it enough to make an XP guy make the switch?

Why not try a dual boot then evaluate 7 to see if you like it?

At this point it's just nice to ask someone that's already doing it.

really very interesting stuff.

Windows 7 will be ready for use about 2012, just before the Christians have
the world coming to an end on Dec 21, 2012. It took the buyers about that
long to do the "paid beta testing" for Micro$oft, right?\

I don't think Vista ever got out of beta testing, as is evident by how many
enterprise user IT departments refused to "upgrade" their fine-working
WinXP boxes.
