We have a couple of machines in our office that run it. Pretty wallpaper, but that's about all I can say. We have run into a few odd situations with our AXP apps running on Vista, but no odder than those we've encountered with users running Office 2007. I've used XP for years and have found it extremely stable and much easier to use than Win2K. As long as I can keep getting it, Vista can wait ... especially since my laptop probably wouldn't even run it.

I chose to order it with XP. I have Vista from the action pack but have never installed it. I probably will someday in a virtual machine. In the meantime I have never even seen it to my knowledge, not that I get out much. But maybe it really is just an urban legend? John W.

They want to do away with XP, but due to the poor quality of Vista, vendors have had to offer XP as an option. There are many folks who want nothing to do with Vista at this point... myself among them. M$ has the nasty habit of releasing software long before it's ready for prime time... and let the unfortunate users be their Beta testers. If they don't get their act together one of these days they will begin (and that's generous) to loose business to other platforms. Biggest hurdle is the enormous embedded base of M$ products.
