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

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

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.
