It's my understanding that some have run into a problem with SP1 getting stuck in a reboot loop. I'm not sure if Vista was involved, but it's nice to hear Vista can work on some setups....
Yeah, I'd heard some configurations were giving issues, most of them due to driver complications so I'm going through our newer dell models to validate that they work with SP1 before I deploy it in March.
