A lot of programs don't show that they are Vista compatible but they are. I use Street Atlas USA 2008 plus the included GPS on my Vista laptop with no problem. I have not fround a program yet that won't work under Vista. Some programs have to Run as Administrator. (Just right click)
Some of my games run better under XP compatiblilty. (right click, click properties, click compatibility tab, then check box that says Windows XP SP2) Theses problems are easily solved and Vista SP1 will be out in mid January that will fix alot of the app compatiblilty issues.
As far as Toshiba. My last laptop was a Toshiba and I burned it up after 4 years of constant use. I sat in the passenger seat and ran every day.
My newest one is an HP because it was cheap and it does what I need it to do. I bought it at Best Buy on sale with a good rebate. Best Buy is a great place to shop. Just stay away from Circuit City. Their people are paid on commision and they will sell you the most expensive item to make them more money.
