    Has anyone updated their TZ with ultimate? I have a fresh copy, but I'm dreading having to reinstall every single driver, especially the sprint broadband stuff. If I do get ultimate installed, do i have to resetup the broadband card?

    And what would be the hard drive space hit? Anyone know the difference in size between Business and Ultimate?

    I have Windows Vista Ultimate on my TZ150N, but it came that way. The previous owner installed it for me. It works fine and I have most of the drivers installed (if not all; I had to find the fingerprint scanner driver and a few other stuff).

    Camera works good, fingerprint scanner works fine, but sometimes when I turn on the laptop or bring it back from sleep/hibernation/standby, Windows couldn't detect the scanner (it says "Please connect fingerprint scanner" or something like that. I have to restart the computer before system recognizes it's there. Only sometimes, but most of time it's all good). Haven't tried Bitlocker yet. I have 55.2GB of 84.8GB HDD space. Can't seem to find the restore on the hidden partition though.

    I'm looking for that Spiderman vaio wallpaper, the one that comes with the new vaios. Still haven't found that..
