Rantings of an IT Pirate

As a pirate is passionate about the open sea, such is my passion about technology. I am the first "ethical" IT Pirate.

Last of my Server 2008 64-bit driver issues solved by using the 64-bit Vista drivers

I created a blog post a few months ago about configuring my laptop to dual boot Windows Vista 64-bit and Server 2008 64-bit.  That post is located here:

I need to do some lengthy work in server 2008 but want to maintain my E-mail access as well as MSN and Skype for meetings.  So it was time to roll up my sleeves and fix the driver issues on my Dell Latitude E6500 laptop in Windows Server 2008.  So far, all of the hardware which was not automatically detected in server 2008 has been made operational by installing the Windows Vista 64-bit drivers.  Hopefully someone experiencing these issues will pickup on this information.
