I'm confused. One minute you say my statement isnt' true and the next
you give factual examples of how hard it is to get hold of the Vista drivers.
Contradiction? Surely not!

not true. although i only have a scanner and printer my hp 5200
scanner is not being supported by hp.
i had to buy another one.
but i bought the hp 6210 all in one new at office max and found out
that it was also discontinued all the periphials you find at the
store are at least 2 years old.
but i did check on hp to find out if they had vista drivers for the
all in one before i bought it. the vista drivers were not included
with the one i bought. none of there periphials were vista ready
last year when i bought it.

Presumably you'll be able to get all the drivers for your peripherals.
No problem at all on that front.
if only!

sorry about posting to the list. i deleted the original message.
as far as the horror stories its just that stories from people
that tried to install vista on a old computer and trying to use
the old periphials like printers,scanners and monitors.
and didn't know what they were doing and the computer
manufacturers greed, selling computers that were not really vista
readyy, but were xp computers with the vista ready logo on the case.
if you are buying all new equiptment go with vista.
its far more secure then xp will ever be. even more secure if you
run it as a standard user, not as administrator.
the only issue doing this is that you have to unload w e and
reload as an administrator when a program has to be run as administrater
openbook,firefox, i e and windows mail will run as a standard user
with w e .
