I just replaced my old laptop with a new one. Toshiba Satellite running Vista.

Things I didn't have to do with Vista that I had to do with XP:
1) Load 166mb of crap for our printer when all I wanted was the driver
2) Put a lot of work into installing my e-mail account. Outlook asked for the e-mail address and the pass word, then figured it out itself
3) Install the drivers for my Smart Card reader. I did have to install the DoD certificates but that's not bad.


Also, my MP3 player (actually, a Sony Minidisc player) seems to load much faster with the new computer. Probably because this thing has 2GB of RAM.
