These U300 cards are also being used by Comcast and Clear and they don't work at all with Windows 7. In fact, I put one of the cards on a WinXP box after and it completely would not even load. I thought it was just a bad card but after talking to Comcast support I learned the following: Applying the new update for Vista/7 actually wiped the cards firmware so it won't work on any machine now. I also tried the Clear mode which is also made by Franklin under the same model number. No luck there either. I was not at the conference and I purchased these cards myself.
