Checkpoint SecureClient and Windows 7

Checkpoint starts introducing compatibility with Secure Client NGX HFA3 for Windows 7 32bits version.
But there is some problems that will affect if you pretends to work with Windows 7 and your VPN Client.
Know problems:
There is no compatibility with 3G devices, when you install the package it doesn't put the bridge protocol inside the mobile broadband device, just you cannot use Secure client, BAD BAD.

64 bits: What is this? Checkpoint forget support on it, BAD BAD.

Using https for the visitor mode tunneling will do the nice blue screen on your computer, BAD BAD.

Summarizing: Checkpoint still have a lot of know issues with Windows 7, and is a bad point if you wants to implement Checkpoint Firewall in your organization.

If you have Checkpoint right now, be patient, Checkpoint people works very slow...
