I suppose that by "integrated" you mean that Win 7 assigns a standard USB driver to the BCF/BCR when you turn the unit on.
However, that's the case in XP and Vista too.

So what are these "automatic" USB MIDI ports actually called under Windows 7 when you access them from a MIDI application (Sonar, Cubase, BC Manager, whatever)?
If it's "USB Audio Device", the Windows 7 driver is probably just an upgrade of the XP and Vista drivers of the same name.

However, as explained in BC Manager's manual (section 4, point 4), these default "USB Audio Device" drivers (at least the XP and Vista versions) have a few serious drawbacks, which is why I recommend using a Behringer USB driver instead.

So an interesting question is whether these Behringer USB drivers work under Windows 7.
Under Vista their installation is already slightly problematic in the sense that you have to set the installer's "compatibility mode" (again, see the BC Manager manual for details), but once installed, the Behringer drivers work fine under Vista (at least the 32-bit version).

Mark.
