Cisco VPN Client on Windows 7 64-bit?

Cisco VPN Client on Windows 7 64-bit? I just ordered a new Lenovo laptop with Windows 7 64-bit, and I heard that it doesn't support Cisco's VPN client. The main work around that I saw: use XP mode.

"Cisco has recently released client 5.0.7 BETA that has Windows 64-bit support.

If you have a Cisco CCO login, here's the link...

"Install Cisco DNEupdate.
Reboot
Take ownership and delete ndis.sys (in c:\windows\system32\drivers).
Take ownership and delete ndis.sys.mui (in c:\windows\system32\drivers\en-us).
Install Cisco VPN Client 5.0.04.0300.
Reboot
Windows 7 will repair itself (should take a few seconds) and automatically reboot.
Cisco VPN Client should work without any other tweaks.
Hope this helps."
