Vista Ready just means it meets the appropriate hardware specs.
The fact that Vista is NOT currently a RETAIL operating systems -
means that Sony are quite within their rights to not support it YET.
Once Vista ships to the general public and Sony launch their Express
Upgrade (worldwide) they will also be releasing the appropriate
drivers and other patches (firmware etc) for their models that are
Vista ready.

As an aside to this I have just installed Vista on a new Sony FE
series laptop and it functions perfectly - I only had to hack the inf
to get the video card divers to load.
So before we all start jumping up and down about their end user
customer facing support remember that as regards regular end user (not
corporates or developers) Vista is still not a shipping product

I just bought a Vaio FE41S, and found out that the MotionEye Camera doesn't
work even when I've updated Windows Visa and installed the Vaio Capture
Utility, it's frustrating not to be able to actually use what you have paid
for. Any help would be very appreciated, I'm not an expert user... as you can
imagine.

Visit the Sony web site for updated drivers. I see they have added many new
drivers.
