The kids at GearLog installed a beta copy of Windows 7 on their fresh new MacBook Pro and found that it wasn’t working quite as expected. Most of the functions were working but some of the little tweaks failed.

In fact, multi-touch didn’t work at all and the system couldn’t get online due to some driver problems. They did use Boot Camp so it’s possible that there were a few missing drivers in the install rather than Windows’ fault. Oh well. It’s a beta.
