I agree to an extent with this lawsuit. I feel that I am very knowledgeable when it comes to computers and I spent endless hours hopping my laptop back during the time this article is based on. I made sure that the laptop I bought was fully compatible and I still got stung. The laptop I got has all of the correct drivers to allow Vista, any version, to run like a dream. I just can't put it to sleep and hibernation only partially works. It has nothing to do with the OS drivers and everything to do with an incompatible version of APIC in the BIOS. This seems to be a problem that effects many early laptop owners with Vista.
Now to be fair, NO version of Windows has ever delivered functional sleep and hibernate functions. I had both working on one of my computers once... never again.
For those looking for a device strictly for reading, the new Kobo is a nice little option. It's small enough to slip into a pocket, can do more with a PDF than the competition, and at $129, it's $10 cheaper than both the Nook and Kindle WiFi.
