Acutally, I'm toying with the idea of converting all the systems to something like Python. Maybe Dabo/Python, etc. I don't really want to support MS's extortion of the computer industry any more. In fact, I'm pretty burned out on the whole thing (which is why you don't see me chiming in on MS bullcrap lately). So I may not worry about Vista at all. From what it sounds like, Vista isn't well-liked by most non-MS people so it's adoption will be pretty slow. There are 1 or 2 companies that currently have a Win 2000 box at their site solely for our application (because they have to file data with the government agency). Their other stuff they're converting to Linux. So I image if companies stay with MS, they'd do the same for a few years at least. This probably won't be an issue for us until after 2010. -Charlie _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
