Re: Vista Capable?

As you've been told, whether or not there will be drivers and whether or not
they'll run on any given version of Vista will be up to HP and/or the
hardware manufacturer. Microsoft doesn't write any hardware drivers (except
for their own hardware, mice/keyboards, etc) and there's no way we can tell
you what HP is or is not planning. I would suggest contacting them for an
answer.
