I haven’t actually used it myself with that OS…goes off to take a look…downloading pretty slowly…scan is working…completed…downloading Intel chipset update…installing…working…Chrome update fails (“illegal NTVDM instruction”)…all items cleared on re-scan, new items found…installing…more NTVDM errors…all items show as cleared, but when I go into device manager, it shows some drivers actually weren’t updated.

I’d give it a mixed review based on this single quick experience: looks like it can find and download drivers for you, but that you must follow up to make sure their install completes successfully outside the Radarsync umbrella. For me, DriverAgent worked better because it requires the user to handle the driver install (not as convenient, but more appropriate for a beta OS, I think).

I was wondering what was your experience with RadarSync (driver agent competitor yet free one) w/Win7
