Bleh. We won't be rolling it out for quite some time yet. We have a couple of months of testing to do, minimum.

Question, are you able to add any hardware to the laptop at all? I'm curious to see if you have the same performance issues with say 2GB of ram in the 'top (One thing I've noticed, with each succeeding M$ OS in the Windows family, take the memory requirement that they quote as the minimum and multiply it by four time to get decent performance)

We'll likely be mixing up the hardware config as we go. The laptop is a Dell Latitude D520... so the only real "weak" part as far as Vista goes is the IGP for the video display.
