Try the website of the device manufacturers concerned - they will be getting a lot of pressure to release Vista drivers now that is has been released.

Aye, btu the OEM is also illegal to sell unless with a at least a significant component of the PC.
The general consensus (well not according to MS at least) is that a power cable is classes as a significant component as the PC won't work
without it

Forogot to add. Its not that cheap. upgrade is $99 in the US (not OEM) and with that you can buy two more copies for $49 each.
As usual MS shaft the UK cos there is no reason why they can justify $1 = £1 for a normal upgrade. For the ultimate edition is may work out cheaper
buying a PC with is pre-installed and selling your old one.

I believed the minimum amout of hardware to purchase to be ok with an oem copy is a mouse.
