As known information, USB drivers via Virtual machine may screw up the software communication otherthan x32/x64 coding.
Generally, X64 system can handle most x32 Applicatiions except System application such asAntivirus)
Windows7 beta (kernel 6.1 and will be 7.0 soon) is a real Vista (kernel 6.0)
I confirm the latest sony elib 2.5 work fine on Windows 7 Beta 1 Build 7000.0.081212-1400 64Bit Native OS

My problem wasn't with USB communication (although I know there can be issues with a VM) - the program wouldn't launch at all until I told it to run under Vista compatibility. If you have been able to get it to launch without using the Troubleshoot Compatibility tool on Windows 7, then perhaps there is something weird with Fusion and Windows 7, although so far the Sony eBook Library software has been the only software I've had any problems with.
In the past, using XP SP3 x86 (32-bit), I haven't had any problems copying books over using the USB cable to my PRS-500. Where the USB issue has cropped up is in updating the firmware of the Reader. For that I've had to use a PC I have lying around. Fortunately, I don't have to do that too often!
