The Windows Hardware Compatibility list (HCL) has been updated for Windows 7. So far there are no entries form the major hardware manufacturers, but I’m sure that will change within the next couple of weeks as they continue submitting their drivers for WHQL testing.

Note that you can also check the hardware manufacturers Windows 7 pages to find out if they will provide Windows 7 support for your device. HP for example has the Windows 7 Upgrade Option Program. All models that are eligible for Windows 7 are listed here (US site, select your country for other localized products).

For those who read my blog, know that from time to time a like to look back in history. Today I’ve found the Compaq Deskpro 486/33M Demo video. I remember well when we used these machines at our office. In fact Compaq had a very good concept in place in these days, allowing you to easily upgrade individual parts like the processor or graphics board without the need to replace the entire unit.

By the way Compaq is not dead. Since the brand has never lost its popularity, HP still sells hardware branded with Compaq. Just the logo changed a bit.
