I installed Vista on my HP zd8000. The volume icon told me i didn't have a sound card installed. I went to the device manager, right clicked on the "unknown sound driver", clicked "update", and bam! my sound worked. we're not talking rocket science here. in fact, with Vista, using the OS to find drivers has been the easiest out of all the windows OS's i've used to date. I can easily count how many times "find the best driver online" has worked with XP and 2000. But then, it's not difficult to count to ZERO.
Shame on Microsoft for expecting the manufacturers to write drivers. Bad Microsoft!
Shame on Microsoft for making it easy to install those drivers.

I don't see the point in this anyway. There's already a "pay as you drive" scheme. It's called "the cost of petrol".
