I will be installing Windows Vista Business on my laptop along with Visual studio 2005, Office 2007 enterprise, and a bunch of other new crap... I might be gone for a while if it doesn't work for me...

I installed Vista Ultimate on an old *** PIII desktop and didn't have a problem. Aero doesn't work because the video card isn't compatible but other than that it works great.

Vista is a resource hog that doesn't offer anything XP doesn't already have...except instability/incompatability. Stick w/ XP.

Haha....stick with XP doesn't fly....how would I develop for Vista on an XP machine? Plus my laptop has more than enough resources (4gb of ram, 250gb disk, something alond the lines of 3.3 Ghz) Too bad I can't use more than 3gb on a 32bit system.

I thought that the maximium addressable memory on a 32 bit proccessor was 2^32 = 4GB
