    I'm currently running Vista Business 64bit and I don't have any problems booting up and the boot time is very short, however, I did notice that it takes a good 25 seconds or so once the boot is complete for the wireless card to find my home network. Why this delay? I don't have any problem with another laptop at my home (XP) that hooks up right away once booting. Is the delay normal or am I just too impatient? Thanks!

    It could be that there are many start up items and it takes a while for the wireless software to load.

    However once the wireless software is loaded connecting to an actual network should be rather quick.
