    No you can't use fingerprint reader with Vista. I was told March 2 as the release date. Where is this software Dell?

    I just emailed wave about a vista upgrade, below is the return email I got. Looks like we should see something for Vista very soon:
     

    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.

    Where is this software?
    There are many of us out here waiting for this update and cannot use our smartcards?
    If it aint ready can we have a beta version till the approved version is ready?

    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!

    It will be free otherwise they couldn't sold those systems as "vista capable" since that means cmoputer will work with vista.
