Just an observation - maybe the vendors, whose software you have chosen to use, should get off their collective butts and fix their own offerings. Vista has been around for a couple of years now - and these guys most likely had early access to alpha and beta versions as most developers do. it has not been hidden from them. They have had ample opportunity to develop new drivers and to test and update their applications, and yet have obviously failed to do so for people like you - their users. There should be no excuse they can offer as to why they haven't done it. It is not entirely MS's fault that you are in this position - and although the last company I usually defend is MS, I feel that they are being unfairly blamed for creating what I've found so far (in the year that I've had it) - a far better operating system than XP in every respect. I run it on my desktop and tablet PC's and rarely, if ever, do they collapse on my machines like XP used to.

I guess that we all have our own experiences with it - mine has been good. For once MS has given us an OS that i've found to work seamlessly and easily with all of my Linux/Unix & OSX servers and desktops. They seem to be learning that cooperation is a good thing.
