They say they probably won't support Vista for a few years anyhow. I explain that a lot of people will probably be buying new home computer with Vista in the next few months and will probably be less pressure to debug the system with just me than dozen of irate people. Non commital answer.

In fact yes. It worked great (while it worked) <s>
