FYI I have asked Novell for some more information on this.

Is this 32- or 64-bit or both?
Which editions of Windows 7?

Look, MS broke webdav in Windows vista and 7. This is documented in
1000s of google results. Not just for Novell. So it is novell's
responsibility to fix it? I think not.

There are plenty of free webdav clients out there.

It's not just Web Folders from Vista & Windows 7 that has problems
talking to NetStorage via WebDAV. Finder on Mac OS X also has problems
as does some apps whereas they don't with other WebDAV implementations ...

Interesting that all the respondents in this thread have said 32-bit as
I was expecting you to say 64-bit!

I and Novell are doing some testing. I will update this thread when I
have more news.
