I'm using a convertable tablet PC and found that vista cannot rotate the
display automatically, i.e. from primary landscape to primary portrait and
vice versa. i can only use the function that rotate the screen clockwise or
counterclockwise to restore original oriention but it wastes a little bit
time and not convenience to use.

Will this function available in the final release?

I also found that the button on the tablet side cannot function except the
power button, will vista has functions for those buttons which can be
customized?

The build-in card reader (for SD / MS-pro) cannot function unless i install
the driver from the dirver disc. Will vista has such driver as default?

Thanks!

Drivers will depend on OEM support for their functionality in Vista, so at
this point I would expect things to be "broken" in Vista. We'll have to
wait and see whether Vista is supported on the model you have, but that's a
manufacturer's determination.

The general rule OEMs (and other hardware companies which furnish drivers)
is to wait until the operating system software is locked down - i.e., no
changes to the code - so they have something other than a moving target
before they expend funds to write their drivers.

That would be RC. The Windows driver model is final. OEM's that are still
holding out now are doing so likely because they aren't getting enough
pressure from the users. If they never get that pressure, and they don't
plan on selling the hardware with Vista machines, they'll never write the
Vista drivers for it.

So therefore, people that want Vista drivers for a particular piece of
hardware should not sit idle waiting for it to come. They should be nagging
the OEM to create them. All of the major component makers have Vista WDDM
drivers or Vista-compatible XP drivers. Just a few of the specialty items
like tablet hardware buttons seem to be getting ignored.
