PicoBoard Windows 7 Drivers

The drivers for a PicoBoard in Windows 7 don't seem to work. I am using the Vista ones, but even in compatibility mode, the board refuses to work. Help?

Personally, I've abandoned Windows and moved onto Mac. You see, Vista and later will be entirely focused on Graphics - a suckish idea. XP was the best version of Windows.

Windows XP is the best windows ever. Mac is even better with built-in OpenGL support  yikes

Core Animation is made on OpenGL. Core Animation reflects the Mac dock on Leopard.

Woo, even better minecraft clone! | I feel that programming is better than animation, because you can interact with games but not animations.

You may want to ask the PicoBoard question on the Sensor Board forums or email picoboard at playfulinvention.com to find out about future Windows 7 support.

Just to let you know, they're making the new Windows 7 help you a lot more in your work.  Check out the videos for it on Microsoft.com if you already haven't
