This is my first post from vista.
I've installed over the weekend windows Vista and I'm glad to say that everything went smoothly.
After completing the installation most of my hardware was automatically identified and installed, except from the sound card, modem and camera, which was also installed though after my first OS update.
The new OS looks great and it's quite fast (despite everything said on the internet about Vista so far). I'm running vista on a 1.8GHz Centrino Laptop with 2GB of memory, 80MB HD and a 256MB ATI X700 graphics card and the OS is as fast as my old XP used to be.
So everything pitchy so far... I still have to install all the software I used :-(
I'll keep you posted on my vista experience...
