   Re: Vista compatibility ??

   Being serious.   
      
   I've installed Visual Studio 2005 and Expressions Web. I've also signed   
   up for lengthy (re) education. I'm spending (not enough) time on Joomla.   
   I've put aside 12 month's salary in the anticipation of rewriting my   
   Paradox application(s) and not earning. (Now *that* should be a nice   
   little tax deduction) ;-)   
      
   So when I say to my customers "don't upgrade to Vista now", I can   
   sort-of say, "wait 12 - 18 months for the next version of my software".   
   Unfortunately, it won't be written in Paradox.   
      
   My concerns regarding Vista don't relate to Paradox. I suspect MS is   
   being very, very insidious with Vista. Once you have it installed, you   
   may unknowingly give up any rights to control over your computer, your   
   software and your hardware you may think you had.
