>>>I've been using a Dell E1705 as my primary development machine since last summer. The only time I've noticed glare on the screen is when it is powered off. I use it in lots of different places with lots of different lighting conditions - no problem here. The native 1920 x 1200 display is really nice although fonts can be kinda small for my ancient eyes.

Since then I have been running HP scanning software, Adobe's line of software, VFP and .net, IM with cam, Nikon camera, etc. You need to be careful with hardware to see that it has vista driver's.

Thanks John. Are you using an installer program (like Inno Setup) for you apps? Any problems there?
