As far as the drivers go, if it says it's Vista compatible then there shouldn't be any issues, just install the Vista drivers and all should be hunky-dory.
Now, I dunno about you guys but the first thing I do with any "new" peripheral is go to the manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers before I install the *whatever* so I know I should have the latest and best drivers available, and it also rules out the chances of a bad driver CD buggering up my system (that has happened before, so it's a case of "once bitten, etc").
