I took the plunge and loaded up VISTA RC1 on my Sager 9860 this weekend.
It warned me upon checking compatibility that the sound card drivers were not compatible. I went ahead and let it do a fresh install - I love the way it backed up Program Files, Windows, and Documents and Settings folders.
The install was flawless - but there were a ton of unrecognized hardware devices afterwords. I installed a driver (XP version) or 3, until I got a BSOD. After rebooting I only have one unrecognized hardware device (which is my soundcard).
I'm now downloading Office 2007 - will go all out ;)
I did try World of Warcraft on Vista and it seems to work perfectly. One oddity though, I tried playing a video clip, but WMP wouldn't play it because the sound card was locked or unavailable (I'll take unavailable for $1000 Alex).
