How's Vista with older programs designed for 2000 and XP? Thinking of buying a new laptop with Vista but I have a decent amount of software designed for 2000 and XP and would like to be able to use it.

Thanks.

Vista......don't.

Wait.

wait until at least SP2... good general rule of thumb

I have Vista at work - my home machine will continue to have XP.

Thanks guys. The wife's laptop is dead after my 3 yr. old dragged it off the table. Looks like we'll be waiting until SP2 comes out.

Hanging in there. I got involved in coaching my son's lacrosse and football teams so that has eaten into a lot of my free time this year. I still come to check things out a few times a week. Hopefully, I'll have some time in the spring to start building some plugs again. The good thing about taking a break is that I have been able to figure a few ways to make jigs to cut my darters. Hopefully, it will speed things up some I can pump them out.
