As a Microsoft Partner I've experienced Vista 32 from the alpha stages. Don't start me on ludicrous changes (more complex networking set up), performance issues (disc access) and missed opportunities (new file system, only signed drivers). The SP1 beta goes some way to improve things (HDD access speeds seem to be better).

On the definite plus side, I recently  a saw a non-techie friend's new Dell Vista Premium box. Really fast on all operations even after his two daughters had stuffed it full of junk, IM software, iTunes, games, etc.

Spent far too long last night researching drivers and software for Vista 64. And you're right, there's not too much to worry about so long as the box stays dedicated to 3D and possibly CS3. Looks like only my flatbed and film scanners are non-starters. Not too sure about my Spyder screen calibration widget yet.

Also calculated the trip to Colwyn Bay. It 's might be worth a day of my time to get a box that definitely works with Vue Infinite.

BTW who exactly avenges the injustices?
