Vista is a problem, it doesn't do anything better or faster than XP, it's a resource hog. They just fattened up their pig and sold people on the newer is better, it has to be, it's newer, and older is bad since it's so old. You don't want to be using old technology do you?
I'm ready to learn Linux on my next build, there's got to be enough Windows apps that do the same thing on Linux by now.

In theory, Vista is great OS, but when basic issues like network copying (A technology that has been round for over 5 decades) is major issue, I think it's safe to say that the OS is not ready for prime time. Don't get me wrong, I know that every single OS has its share of problems, but I except a lot more from Microsoft.

Vista should run beautifully on that laptop.

What's dissapointing is the screen. They don't offer a 15.4" WUXGA.
