I've installed the new operating system from Microsoft, Vista, onto my desktop at home and all sees to be running fairly well with one exception, my computer is now silent.  Apparantly, there are no drivers for the Creative SB Live! Sound card.  My machine is as silent as a mouse.

With Office 2007 running, iTunes installed (after some issues with permissions on another user account), and the realization that Vista has a Mahjong game (one of my all time favorite games!) I figured no sound was a small price to pay for a machine that runs much better now than it did before.  But iTunes is pretty worthless without sound.  Sure, I can sync up my iPod, but that's about where the fun ends.  And I miss the alert sounds to let me know when I have new mail or an instant message.

I hope it won't be too long before a fix is available.  The interface on Vista is very different from XP and will take some getting used to, but overall, I'm liking it so far.  It will be that much better once I can hear again.
