  I've been avoiding Vista and recommending clients do the same.  I don't
see anything compelling enough in Vista except for bit locker to warrant
spending the money for the required hardware and software updates.

   I would say 75 - 80% of my clients would need to replace just about every
piece of hardware they have in order to use all the features.  Most could
run the watered down version; but why bother?

<<And that

Visual Studio. >>

The Access 2003 Developer Extensions are part of the new Visual Studio Tools
for the Microsoft Office System software package.  You do not need Visual
Studio or Visual Studio .NET.  It includes the following products:

Visual Studio Tools for the Microsoft Office System 
Microsoft Office Access 2003 Developer Extensions 
Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Developer Edition 
Microsoft Visual Basic .NET 

Here's the link:

Hey All
I am planning on upgrading to a new version of ACCESS and a new machine. 
Am I correct from what I have been reading that I should be going to 
Access 2003 and Windows XP and to avoid  Access 2007 and Vista. And that 
I should be looking at the Access Extensions Developer Kit and not 
Visual Studio. Any advice will be appreciated, remember this is an old 
dog trying to learn new tricks.
