    I've heard reports that you need to install Vista 64 by itself and install SP1 on top of that later instead of having a Vista 64 disc w/ SP1 already. I'm confused.

    I have a coworker that went through the process and he said that there were a few small issues but other than those, he loves it. I already have Vista x64 on a Dell system so I don't feel a need to install it on my MBP.
