Microsoft has a nifty utility called vista upgrade advisor which checks driver availability before installing.  I'd suggest anyone thinking of upgrading vista use it before purchasing vista.

  Mark,

  Vista, like previous operating system has teething problems. Right
  now, a lot of drivers are missing simply because the equipment mfg's
  (from sound cards to printers) have not made them available.

  I don't know what problems you've had with XP, but the reaction of
  some people who've installed Vista make me think that I'll wait for
  Service Pack 1 (SP1) before I even consider it. Vista will slow down
  your computer compared to XP, is memory hungry and still has several
  bugs although updates have already been released this week.

  Consider Vista as jut an upgrade to XP and posssibly the last OS
  change for a very long time to come.

  Cheers,
  Andre
