Hi RobertCollier4,
Are you suggesting that you successfully tested and used a patched kernel of Windows 7 / W7 SP1 with the HD Graphics driver for Win XP? This would be quite a bit of a revolution for me. Is there anywhere I can read the exact steps you performed?
To Intel, I have to add my vote of frustration about this bug.
(As I hadn't already had enough problems with intel drivers under Linux...)
