Denys and Everyone,
   
  I have one machine running Vista and Office 2007,  my comments...
   
  Vista:  not ready for prime time... I had two blue screens trying to install it and it took about 6 hours time to complete (3 attempts were made).  If I were not a stubborn IT professional, I would have given up.  Bottom line, wait for the 1st service pack and all the preiphal drivers to be ready (read NVIDIA).
   
  BTW, I upgraded from XP Pro to Vista Business... the is NO upgrade path, Vista will rename the Window directory from WINDOWS to WINDOWS.old and do a "fresh" install.
  Meaning all programs will need to be reinstalled.   This is a BIG downfall for most companies.
   
  Oh, and the Aero glass, is a lot of marketing hype.  I can use it, but I don't see what all the fuss is about.
   
  Office 2007:  A little bit more mature, but there is still a learning curve for the new interface.
   
  Ahh, life on the bleeding edge.
   
  -Craig

  I installed the latest version of Office software emanating from Redmond.
To my dismay, it somehow eliminated all my mail rules and that means I
received all messages to 3000-L unfiltered, so I see that Herr Baier is
still actively supporting the terrorists.



I have since reestablished most of my rules, but I am sure I am missing a
few still.



I upgraded from Office 2003. So far, it's been a pretty good experience but
I have to get used to quite a few changes in appearance and command
selection. 



Denys...
