I do have to stop and give some quick kudos to Windows Live OneCare 2.0 team with regards to the fast moving instant messenger virus that has been going around. OneCare flags this one as Win32/DelfInject.gen!AG and it saved me from a rather unpleasant encounter (yes I clicked the link). I know several people who were using products from other vendors that shall remain nameless and they were not so lucky.
I use OneCare 2.0 on my HP Pavillion dv9500t loaded with Vista Ultimate x64 (yes, this is my "work PC" - 4GB, dual hard drives and 17" of Visual Studio, 'nuf said) and I've been very happy with the very low footprint and obvious effectiveness of OneCare running on Vista. The 2.0 release added support for Vista x64 and all version include licenses for up to 3 computers.
My only issue with Vista x64 has been lack of support for Flash in the 64-bit browser; however the 32-bit browser works fine. On the other hand, Jerry Camel really hates that he can't do Print to OneNote in Vista x64.

If you like Vista64 with 4GB.. try 8GB. It is a huge difference.
I can run multiple virtual machines (3 x 512MB) and play a game without any issues. With 4GB - I had to shut down the VMs to game.
Granted, but in the laptop platform 8GB just isn't feasible given the cost of 4GB sticks!
