Windows 7 can take Vista drivers?

[PCpraiser100]

I heard from this blog that you can actually use Vista drivers with Windows 7 just by enabling the compatibility troubleshooter from right-click on driver installer. I dunno if the guy was just posting for comments but it would be nice of somebody can actually try this method out.

Heres the link, from TechSpot:

Thanks for sharing MoonPig, what about driver cleaning programs? I have been living with the preview drivers ever since.

Great. One problem, I'm a huge CCC user. I know for a fact that the cleaner does not assist cleaning sections of CCC. Will this affect performance with CCC area not cleaned?
