The vista drivers should work with Windows 7; according to the folks at
Microsoft, most Windows 7 drivers will be similar to those used by Vista
such that if you cannot find a Windows 7 driver you should try a Vista
driver.  Of course, this does not mean that as Windows 7 gets its finishing
touches something might happen to screw this up.  However, Windows 7,
despite just going into public beta release, is close to finalization.
There have been some Windows 7 64 bit editions that have encountered
installation problems when installed as an upgrade versus a clean install
where they get close to completing the installation and then stop the
installation process rolling back to the previous Vista version.
Nevertheless if you got Windows 7 installed and there are 64 bit drivers
available for the device in Vista, they should work in Windows 7.

If this were 
Vista64, what would you recommend as possible workarounds? 

I would recommend using Vista64. Thats supported, and works. We'll get to
Windows 7 between now and when its released.

I know that Win7 is totally unsupported, which the Datacolor reps in 
Switzerland tactfully reminded me about. However, for the moment 
let's assume I am running Vista64 and approach the problem from that 
direction. I am trying to install v3.0.7
 
When I install the Spyder3Pro software it loads all the languages and 
takes forever. Happens even if I install it with Vista or XP 
compatibility turned on. Once finished the program launches and runs 
correctly - but it cannot use the driver for the colorimeter. It says 
it cannot recognize the driver signature.
 
It's almost running. If I can just figure out how to get the OS to 
recognize the driver we'd be in great shape, I believe. If this were 
Vista64, what would you recommend as possible workarounds? Thanks!
