Yeah, but drivers are a pretty serious issue right now. I have a Vista
already (with the Action Pack as part of my business), but I don't want
to switch until driver issues are hammered out. By the time the first
service pack is released, that will probably be the right time ... Hell,
I'll be impressed if the drivers that ship with the machine work, as
they don't on Dell machines.
