Hi has anybody got either of these cards to work on Vista. I have a large corp going over to Vista on lappys and seems they made the decision before checking out all the ramifications for peripherals.

Sierrawireless.com mentions only the 595 having some capability but what about the 580 and the watcher??

Yes the 580 does work on Vista. You need to download the latest version of the 580 Watcher software and update the firmware on the card. This is all on the Sierra site.

I believe the 595 is Vista compatible out of the box.
