I have Vista home edition. The only problem I have is that Vista will not display the help files of wavepad, I sent an email to the wavepad developers on this problem. I do not use wavepad for audio recording, I use another program I installed for that, and depending on what you want to record, you have to adjust your recording properties on vista first. I have had great success with both mic and what-is-playing recordings, a little difficult to record both sources.
