I wouldn't be so sure. "Vista Capatible" is a loose term devised by Microsoft that means something completely different than what most people think.
Vista Compatible means that certain basic hardware items, such as CD ROMs, processors, memory, keyboards, monitors and the like are compatible. It doesn't necessarily cover things like finger printer readers and TPMs. Read the fine print!
See my previous post, Wave already said the update is being reviewed by Dell and will be posted on Dell's site when it's ready. Just give it time guys/gals....
The Vista qualified Wave Embassy Security Suite was released yesterday.
When I phoned Dell Customer Support they said it was not out which conflicts with the Wave web site.
All I can say is that the Dell upgrade disc had an empty folder where the Wave upgrade was supposed to be. I expect that Dell will post a downloadable iso image as soon as they get their act together.
The D620's were sold with the understanding that all of the hardware would work with the Vista upgrade. If Dell does not offer a free Wave upgrade, many site managers I know said they will consider migrating to Smart Cards for the D620's recently purchased and other vendors for future hardware purchases.
IMO it is just a matter of a few days before we'll be able to get the Wave upgrade.
If you try to configure a D620 at
www.dell.com with both Vista and the fingerprint reader, it does not let you- it says the fingerprint reader is incompatible.
This means they are aware it, and they are more than likely working on it, it's just a matter of testing and licensing the $100 Wave software into something free for the rest of us.

ETS Vista is in the final stages of testing at Dell. We expect it to be
released this week.
When it is released, it will be available for download from
http://support.dell.com/.
Please let me know at support@wavesys.com if you have any further
questions or problems.

I remember dell advertising it as vista upgradable. I'm positive we will get it for free.
Otherwise this could easily go to suite.
Dell's not gonna say all the fingerpirnt readers and TPM enabled computer I bought is now obsolete.
