I don't have much to offer except to say that isight doesn't work on my Vista installation on a 2.4 MBP either.

the santa rosa isight camera has a different USB device code

Compare the hardwareid in Device management to the codes listed in the isight.inf file

The usb device code has to match the codes in the driver.

The driver would need to be updated in order to work with the camera.

I tried editing the inf file to match the USB code for the isight camera - no dice.

"Early adopter syndrome" is a pain, eh? Right now there are a bunch of PC products that don't have drivers. The iSight cameras in MBPs not having drivers should not be a major surprise. Vista drivers seem to be slightly different from XP drivers, and I'm not sure how, but it's pretty obvious that new drivers will be a major issue for a while, if for no other reason than the coders need time to write them.

Having a different device code can mean a simple upgrade in the hardware or a completely different device-and it could be as different as being from a completely different vendor too. Tinkering with drivers is like pushing buttons on an unlabeled panel just to find out what they'll do; you may be fine, or you may find the self destruct button by mistake. At least goofing up a driver that doesn't work won't blow anything up.
