If you feel that way about Vista, return it.
If you live outside North America that may be difficult.
Have you checked with the cell phone manufacturer to see if or when they
will support Vista?
It is up to the hardware manufacturer to determine if they will write vista
drivers.
Exactly what type of travel drives?
If you start a new thread and post details of your networking issues,
someone may be able to help.
