Does it refuse to run unsigned stuff, or something? Seriously, I don't know why you'd bother with Vista it if that were the case, that's insanity.

But for some reason I recommended it to all my friends. I then bought an Asus laptop. The built in video card driver doesn't work in Vista (which came with the laptop) or Windows 7 RC1. But it works fine in Ubuntu. The ATI video card has been a major PITA in Ubuntu until the 9.8 release of FGLRX, however I still had to patch Xorg for it to work properly. And now I am trying to make Ubuntu recognise the built in Tv Tuner card in my Asus laptop. So there, I am no longer planning on buying Asus or ATI.
