Nathan- I can't speak specifically about what DesktopStandard's plans are but frankly, when I asked MS about supporting existing 3rd party CSEs in Vista a while ago, they said that there should not be any issues. Of course, it is up to the vendor to test and support this, and since that vendor is now Microsoft, I would suggest contacting your MS rep to get the official story. However, us GP MVPs meet with the GP product team on a monthly basis and the next meeting is Friday so I will ask then what the story is. Also, just an FYI but I highly doubt the time they would take to do this is 18 months. I don't know all the details, but I know its not that long.

The support staff at DesktopStandard isn't sure about "Policy Maker" product updates now that MS owns them but said they heard that it could be 18 months. This would basically prevent us from deploying a single Vista PC for 18 months..
