Well, just found something that is incompatible with Vista. I have a nice nforce3 chipset with onboard networking. Trouble is, the onboard NIC died a couple of weeks back. No problem, I thought. I have an unused 3com 3c905 sitting in one of my machines (It also has a wireless network card, as I don't have enough sockets on the router for it). Guess what: The 3C905 doesn't work in ANY 64 bit edition of Windows.
