    And Im getting grey hair and burst a few blood vessels out of sheer frustration every time I have to fix various stuff on my sister's Vista laptop. Some of it might have to do with a not so powerful laptop that wasnt meant for Vista although it officially should be.

    Several gadgets she has bought just doesnt have drivers for Vista (not Vista's fault of course) and a general inability to easily install any USB gadgets because Vista cant figure out how to search for drivers automatically (maybe fixed in later updates/SP1), has not improved my opinion about Vista.

    But ok, SP1 might the big thing.

    Well, it installed all drivers just fine here, the only thing that doesn't have a driver is this old digicam. Like you say, if the manufacturer doesn't bother to create drivers for Vista, you can't really expect Microsoft to create drivers for just about everything out there. It can be an issue with older hardware because manufacturers just drop support, but then I think I couldn't get this old black and white scanner to run in XP either...
