A very fair write-up of his experience I think. I have Feisty Fawn installed
on my development desktop and my laptop, it works a treat. I have never had
a problem with wifi it just works. No drivers to install, all in all a very
pleasurable experience.

I have a Vista Ultimate disk and I keep looking at it and debate whether I
should install it. As an IT tech I am getting more and more calls from
bemused and disgruntled people with new desktops and laptops with Vista
installed that just will not behave themselves. Expensive software either
won't install or run, even in compatibility mode and there is no formal
Vista support with many packages yet as well. Just trying to figure out
workarounds is tying me up and costing my customers a packet! This is the
hidden cost of 'upgrading' to Vista, the support needed to just get things
to run.
Tim.
