    For anyone curious I installed Vista Bussiness on my Wind for fun and it works great! I used Vlite to remove unwanted Vista components and brought down the install file to 800 megs. I used a USB Keyfob to install Vista and It took about an hour. I used XP drivers to install all the extras and everything turned out OK. I installed an extra 512 ram and found start up times and using Vista to be surprisingly fast. Once its loaded down with a bunch of crap a year from now It'll pro'ly be dead slow but which Vista machine isnt?
    Vista will stay on for now.
