Installing Windows 7 On A Netbook

I'm still a tad confused about the drivers. As there's a 'Vista' folder for example, in my Audio driver folder, does that mean it's Vista compatible?

This is the folder of my Audio:

This is the folder for my LAN.

So, If I upgrade to 7, how would I go about getting my LAN, Cardreader and VGA working?

Everything worked out of the box for me, I didn't have to download any drivers.

So.. this means my drivers will work on 7? Argh, I'm so confused. Hellcat, you were right; My netbook doesn't support XP Mode, it also doesn't support Aero - but I should be able to get that to work.
