The trackpad is still a little flaky but does respond better now under Vista. 2 finger scroll works (though too fast). 2 finger tap for right click is working as is single tap now. Expand/contract gestures in Windows Photo gallery is working but no rotation yet. Holding down the trackpad and dragging one finger to highlight a word stays engaged now allowing for 2 finger click on the highlighted object. I will add more as time and experimentation allows.

I have to install XP this weekend and I'm trying to decide between parallels and boot camp... Not sure which I'm doing yet, but if the TP doesn't work so great in XP, my decision is kinda made for me.

Too bad they didn't offer an update for older White/Blackbooks. I dual boot Vista on both my Mini and my Whitebook and the trackpad tends to be way oversensitive on my Macbook. Two finger scrolling tends to be a bit too fast, but two-finger right-clicking in Explorer can be, say we say, an adventure.

I just use my mouse in Vista.
