Pretty much exactly the same.

Drivers will either be built into Vista or available from the laptop manufacturers website.

Nothing overly complicated.

I'd image that most of the HW in the laptop will have drivers built in.
Things like Biometric Readers and non-common HW might need drivers though. But they'll probably be quickly available.
