Up and Running (on Vista)
On Vista (just like with Processing) the Arduino environment forces out Aero which is a bit annoying. However Vista found drivers for the FTDI USB chipset as soon as I plugged in the board, so I never had to manually point to the drivers from the Arduino download.
Using the LED blink example sketch I have a nice blinking LED. The Diecimila board has an LED on the board, right above the TX/RX ones that blinks, but if you also insert an LED into the board they both blink (though the onboard one blinks really dimly)
