Using an older Dell Latitude D600. 1.6ghz / 1.25 gb ram / Radeon Mobilty 9000 - Installation was a breeze (including the formating of the HD to install over XP) - Driver support SEEMED spot on (more on that in a bit) - It is at least as responsive & robust as XP (takes some getting used to tho)...

Whenever I try to connect to certain public wireless networks Vista will lock up tight, which then necessitates a hard reboot. Does anyone know why this happens? Other public wireless networks I can connect to without a hitch. But certain "hot spots" are not too hot. I contacted HP tech support...
