    That sticker has been available just a days ago.. so I think the E1505 will have it next weeks. Anyway if you want to know if E1505 is Vista Ready, the answer is short and simple: YES. It has a Vista Ready processor, and even the Intel GMA950 is "vista ready" too.

    I think there's no official support for GMA900 from Intel, just for GMA950.

    From INTEL website:

    The Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 950 on both the Intel® 945G and Mobile Intel® 945GM Express Chipsets will support the Windows Vista Display Driver model (WDDM) drivers.

    :confused: This is boggling me - I've never seen MS do anything like this before... They must think there's a huge hype over Vista or something - sorry about my first post!
