If Vista is really that intensive, which it is judging by Schnabel's post, then I doubt I am going to get that same battery life. And my fan will be on all the time.

Vista? No thanks.

I get about the same battery life on my laptop as I did with XP. If you guys don't want Vista, don't get it... don't discourage others from getting it though, you may not like it but they may. I personally enjoy working in Vista more than I did in XP.
