It is a high spec machine but Sony are not supporting an upgrade to Windows 7. This does not seem right for a company that publicises its customer support at every opportunity. Is anyone else out there disappointed with Sony's attitude. I am especially upset because it isn't that the hardware is incompatible only that Sony has used a special tweaked version of the NVIDIA driver and doesn't seem to be willing to provide an updated version. NVIDIA don't see a problem with their reference card.<BR />Dennis<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Fri, 18 Dec 2009 10:10:49 GMT denjohns8 2009-12-18T10:10:49Z Windows7 and Vaio https://community.sony.ee/t5/pcs-accessories/windows7-and-vaio/m-p/118206#M50371 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Oh Dear!<BR />I have a Laptop Vaio VGN-FZ31Z that is about a year old.
