Screen shot taken from a virtual computer created with VMware Workstation 5.5 with VMware Tools Installed. Finding drivers for physical hardware was too complicated.

Drivers for Windows Vista seem almost impossible to find at this point (May 2006). VMware seems ahead of the pack as far as drivers go. Nvidia and ATI are doing ok too, but what about chipset , audio, modem ,etc.. drivers? Not too many companies have released any, which is kind of scary considering how close Micorosoft is to supposedly releasing Windows Vista.
