Howdy colleague, let’s keep our fingers crossed that Vista will get canned like Windows Millenium!

Btw, for those that don’t know Vista only works with Office 2007! I found out the hard way :lol:

My customer was spewing today when I told him he had to pay another 93 pounds for the most basic version of Office 2007 and that all previous office CD's he had were useless!!! :lol:


YES. And LOADS of other programmes - I lost 2 weeks of data from Quicken... That will take me 2 days to re-input!!!

Why have they blocked so many normal programmes???


I can't imagine any technical reason as backward compatibility was never an issue before so I can only suspect greed! :(

I didn’t know about Office! :shock:

It’s a definite no-no upgrade for me then – it’s the first version of Windows that I didn’t immediately want to upgrade to – XP suits me just fine.

BTW the first PC I sold had two Z80’s and ran CP/M, the first PC running M$ was a NEC ‘Advanced PC’ which had (if I remember) an 8088 and two 8” floppy drives.

I've got vista on my new laptop and Xp on the desk top -- after trying vista I'm afraid I'll be changing the laptop to xp very soon -- and yes I'm very very very sure thank you microsoft.
