My laptop came with Vista.  I repartioned the primary Windows partition
and installed Debian.  I tried the recovery partition once.  Though it
would boot (via grub) it would bail everytime because it (apparently)
didn't find the appropriate partitions it was expecting.  This may
simply be my ignorant speculation.  Then again, who cares?  I'll never
need to install Vista.
