    Does anyone using the 8204 want to share experience using Vista? I had several problems before with the Beta and RC versions of Vista, but now using Vista Ultimate and all seems okay, except for:
    1. Orbicam, detected in devices but not in YM or Live Messenger. Driver version downloaded from Windows Update (9441041).
    2. Have yet to try connecting a bluetooth device, the card reader, smart card reader and VOIP phone.
    3. Have not installed any Acer E-programs, but shouldn't Vista automatically change power schemes between plugged and when on batteries?
