You need to open the item "View 32-bit Control Panel Items". And there it is. :)

... and even resetting the normal.dot won't help you there.
But it's soo simple. A double click between the border between your document and the rulers will display them. Read the full story here.
Thanks to Shad, I have now found Vista 64-bit drivers for my network card as well as a generic driver for the touchpad for my Dell XPS M1330.
If you get the message that the access for "C:\Users\<Username>\SendTo" is denied it doesn't mean you don't have the necessary permissions - but rather that you are looking at the wrong place since the SendTo folder was moved to:
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\SendTo
At the old location there is a NTFS junction which redirects read/write access to the SendTo folder. Unfortunately Windows Explorer won't follow this link and doesn't show you want's in there (stating the access was denied).
You need to turn off the computer completely (restart won't work). Vista should start now and you need to install "Intel Matrix Storage Manager" (provided by Dell) and after the next restart everything worked fine for me.
Another tip would be to turn off ACHI in your BIOS.
A nasty one, you will probably realize in front of customers.
The workaround can be found on the Windows SDK blog.
Enjoy!
Run the command (using admin privileges):

If you try to drag tables from the Server Explorer of Visual Studio 2008 to the designer surface of the Link-to-SQL designer you'll probably be surprised to see the error message stating:
"The selected object(s) use an unsupported data provider"
However you can use SqlMetal.exe to generate the .dbml file manually (obviously: command line instead of drag & drop).
If you get that nice error message change your solution configuration to target 32-bit (x86) using configuration manager.
