Everything works in Fedora 9 (I initially had some WLAN issues), but not
64-bit Vista.

My complaint was the quality of the screen and a few other things.  I'm
getting a blue see-thru on the backlight on darker colors from an angle.
I've seen Dell's do this, of all models (including XPS) as well.

The build/component quality of the HP dv9000 series is just much better
IMHO.  But the features are just not as good, hence why I went for a
Gateway P-FX series or Dell XPS -- the former being a heck of a lot
cheaper.
