Windows Vista Home Premium on an HP dv2617s laptop with Centrino 1.5 Ghz dual-core, 2 GB memory, Intel X3100 graphics. I was skeptical at first, too, but Vista works great. I needed a machine for internet browsing and school-work (college), and this has performed very well (my desktop, for comparison, runs Windows XP MEdia Center). I also get about 4 -5 hours on a battery charge, and idling, Vista uses about 600 - 700 MB of memory. If Vista doesn't work for you, don't buy it. That's what free enterprise is all about. There many for whom it works just fine!
