Can the Xbox 360 be connected to Windows 7

    Hi there,
    I use a mobile phone 3G USB stick for broadband in my house. So I can't connect the broadband directly to the xbox. My current computer uses Windows 2000 so it also won't connect to the xbox.
    So to fix all this I was going to buy a new laptop this week - i.e. connect the 3G broadband to the laptop, then connect the xbox to my new laptop and allow the xbox a connect to the web.
    But, it seems all laptops these days come with Windows 7 now. My question is - Is there any problems connecting my xbox to a Windows 7 laptop, and does 32 or 63 bit versions of windows 7 make any difference?
    The web site here doesn't mention the new OS so it makes be worried that it won't work

    Any views are much approeciated.

    Later.

    Oh and that page is purely for connecting windows media player to the xbox which definitely works on windows 7 (I use it myself sometimes)

    2. Click Classic View on the left side of the Control Panel.
