Did a clean install of Vista Ultimate 32bit on a five year old toshiba laptop, a 2415-s205 . Other that a weak graphics controller with only 16mb on it, which prevents the aero panes from running, the Vista runs very smoothly with no hic-cups.

System has been up and running for 12 hours a day the last two weeks, I've been poking aroung with it and this OS is stable.

Drivers are being released daily by alot of manufactures, but it will take sometime for the industry to catch up.

The backward compatibility was nice for the techs but its time to move forward.

I plan to keep a couple of older laptops around to run legacy programs, but the Vista machine is becoming a favorite.
