I installed Vista Business Edition on my pretty bog standard Dell laptop. I 
was surprised to find that it didn't find the sound card and I had to go to 
dells website to get a driver. 
That said the suspend/resume stuff works very well.
Although it only lasted on that machine for a matter of days before it 
annoyed me enough to reinstall ubuntu over the top (which found the sound 
card and all the other hardware).
Cheers,
