    For those of you who have installed Vista, what is the new battery life approx? comparable hopefully?


    Also, It is my understanding that going to vista via the driver cd+ upgrade vista cd is an "upgrade" and not a reformatting? What I mean is that when I put vista on am I going to lose all my information/programs on there now??


    thanks

    I haven't upgraded (I see no reason to since I don't gain any functionality I don't already have) but I know for sure that the upgrade CD preserves your documents and programs.
