Why not a VS2005 person? I am and I'm in the same position of looking for a good development laptop. heck, i saw an hp at best buy that i thought i could use... 200gig hd and 2g ram and 17" monitor and Vista Ultimate. That's a pretty hefty box. I didn't get it cause I wanted to see what i could find about dual booting Powerbook and Vista (yes, i know i'm a sadist). Louis
