Windows 7 and Desktop Manager
I remember back when the Windows 7 beta came out there was issues with the way it handled USB devices. Thus installing an OS onto a device using Windows 7 was disastrous.
Now that the RC of Windows 7 is out, does anyone know if it is possible to install an OS?

I’m pretty sure this was fixed with RC let me look it up
from what I read every else seems like its working fine sense RC came maybe even before that. I know this was an issue a while back but I’m pretty sure it's fixed.
Here is some information from the BlackBerry Forums:
http://supportforums.blackberry.com/...d=308445#M7302
It still might be a little buggy though being's Windows 7 isn't live yet and RIM hasn't added to the Requirment part just yet

I run RC on my desktop and have not had the issue. I did not have to do the fix for this one. I did have to do it on the beta version though

Im running 4.5, I just like that one the best. It has the least amount of problems for me. But I also spend aboutn 90% of my time on my laptop.
