The new Vista is all pretty and really has some cool features. BUT if you have a computer that is more than 6 mo. old (mine is less than a year) like my HP you can forget about using the Aero features. The graphic drivers that are suppose to update with installation does not update these computers. There are no updated drivers available from Intel because they in their infinite wisdom abandoned all their laptops that are more than 6 months. They have no intention of providing these updates in the future. Write them or call them and complain. If your laptop is like mine that HAS ENOUGH MEMORY to run Aeros but cannot because of the driver then call or write Intel to thank them for abandoning their users. There is no way to replace the driver in your laptops because it is built into the motherboard. The only option that you have is buy a new computer. BUYing a new computer is out of the question for most people when they have just purchased one this past year!!

Not a happy camper!

I have a 4 year old PC and this runs perfectly. No problems with hardware or software. All the eye candy you can imagine, plus, i ordered this as an additional addon to my laptop, also perfect. don't listen to nay sayers. This will work, run the Vista Compatibility program from MS before buying to make sure your system will take any version of Vista.

Unless you buy a system that is all VISTA ready, then this could be an expensive nightmare. I have a very powerful current system, but VISTA didn't recognize many of my components and there aren't updated drivers for many of my components, such as my printer, graphics card, etc.

Perhaps after I have made my computer entirely VISTA compatible, maybe it will have some utility.
