2 Days in with Macbook, the experience and story.
As a side note, all the problems -including some performance issues- I had with Vista so far are because of drivers and applications themselves. Vista is great, but rest of the As a devout Microsoft fan, user and stockholder, I am very disappointed to say (from my experience) Vista gets two thumbs down.

Certainly, there is a MS guru that can address this in a more direct manner than the useless posts I have seen so far?. You can check what drivers (My addition to Murphy's Law).

So far so good. It is stable and usable -- I like it.

Heres a cracker of a problem - Nvidia Drivers
There are a lot of rough edges in Vista; and I do not think that any of the patches released so far have really improved it that much. I like a lot of what Vista has to offer; however Microsofts claim to not wait for SP1 for deployment is pure crap. I would never get any sleep if this was allowed for my user base.
