I'm the last person in the world to be defending HP on the subject of
software but this isn't true (any longer at least).

They will in time.. you might want to e-mail them with questions regarding
when they will properly support their product range.. in fairness, some of
their products do already work.. it is just a little hit and miss
presently..

Not true -- they are behind the curve with many of their products, but
at least some of their devices have Vista specific drivers available
for download.

Re: HP no drivers, software updates for PC and printers

I would beg to differ with you ... both my laptop and wife's laptops have
full Vista drivers/support, and two of my three HP printers do. Just the
newest one lacks them, of course. ;-)

Don't know about printers, but HP has a full complement of
Vista drivers for the XP-equipped laptop I bought in December.

Funny, I have an HP laptop that shipped with XP. It has updated drivers for
Vista, both 32 and 64 bit versions.

Windows Vista has built in baseline drivers for HP printers. Both of my
photosmart printers worked right from the install of Vista.
'You were wrong on both points!
