Impressions of Vista
I came by a version of Vista (premium) and loaded it on my 2.6GHz P4 w/1GB and 300GB drive. So far it works ok. I can't see the advantage over Windows XP though and the learning curve is just as steep as moving to Ubuntu.
I have not LOADED the new version of Ubuntu. I think I will put it on a separate HD.

Envy and nVidia Drivers
I used the Envy program to update Ubuntu 6.1 with the Nvidia video drivers. It worked and I am now able to set the display to my Samsung LCD to 1440 x 900 resolution.
I also set the display resolution after using Envy with the preferences pull down menu. I am not 100% sure that the resolution sticks after I do a shutdown but I can always reset using the nvidia utility.
I recommend Albert's Envy program:
