If your PC or laptop runs Windows Vista, you might be aware to the fact that Vista doesn’t provide out-of-the-box support for several popular network controllers ,wireless adapters, printers etc’. Moreover, the quest for Vista compatible drivers often turns into a challenging task. That’s why i would like to point you out to the Vista drivers master list that was compiled by Edd Bott.
Although it’s still a work in process, this helpful list saves you time by pointing you to the main hardware manufacturers’ driver download pages from which you can easily retrieve your required driver.

That is quite an useful resource for the vista users. Seeing that I am planning on migrating to Vista soon, this list would come in handy
I’m sorry but I wanted to say that your link has always been on my partners list. After you changed your host or website location, I see that you do not have my blog. Do you wish to keep the link exchange by putting my blog link or should I remove mine?
Do you personally use vista? i would like to know your experience with it.
Good to see you around. Yes, i use Vista since 4-5 months ago on a desktop with 1 GB RAM (dual boot with Server 2003).
Overall experience is positive. Vista is stable and easy to use and to tweak. As far as migrating to Vista from XP, i would suggest to wait they release their first service pack for Vista and then give it a shot. I would recommend to first try it in a dual boot mode, so if you don’t like it, you can always stick to your XP system.
Having said that, to date i didn’t interact with any company that deployed Vista in a worldwide scale. That’s another reason for waiting for Vista SP1.
