Since I worked in Tech Support for our cable company for nearly 3 years I've dealt a lot with Vista and the one thing I can say is that it defaults to a DSL protocol for internet.  In all the time I was doing internet support we never did get an answer from Microsoft on how to change that so, like PhilC, Vista is not allowed in my house. 

For  those of you interested, XP Pro is still available at newegg.com for $139.00
