We installed 2 new computers at work with this, and there are so many programs that are not compatible that at the moment, unless you are just doing the basics, and don't have much to convert, wait until it's been out longer. It's like buying the first of a new line of cars and finding out that you got to be the lemon owner.
Just like Gracie, our client's who do not own a Vista program, cannot open certain files and/or attachments.
We use programs that connect to other companies online, and those programs don't work either. Have to plug into the old computer (what a waste) just to network.
PS..Even our computer tech guy at work (mind you the company he works for gets paid $150/hr for him to work on these programs for people in our building)..said..stay away from Vista for now.
