I have just installed Vista Enterprise manually (I've not done a manual installation in a while) and was very pleasantly surprised that Windows downloaded all required drivers, I didn't need to install any drivers by hand as Windows had made a great set of driver download choices.
This shows that Microsoft has been working hard to make driver support not only easier, but also better by using enhanced modern drivers and the ability to deliver them through the standard Windows update process. The only drivers I would think about installing manually are graphics card drivers. Vista seems to do an excellent job of finding and installing drivers for you automatically.
When you think about the diverse range of hardware Microsoft has to support they are doing a very impressive job.
