Hi Thomas,
I don't know about present or past programs not running on Vista etc. I can
still run dos programs in XP as well as programs like Cool Edit from Windows
3.1. Heck even here on the list the old BBS door games and other dos text
adventure games are still very popular. I just don't buy into the scare of
everything has to be the newest, biggest, best to be of any use.

Hi Damien and all,
Let me refraze the Vista question so my question is more clear. I am
trying to figure out how many of you will be upgrading to Vista over the
next year, and not gather data on how many are planning to stick with
XP. XP works fine with .Net 3 and DirectX so no compatibility issues
there I can see.
However, Windows 2000 does have known issues with .Net 3, and one reason
if I choose to put more future long-term support into Vista I can not
garentee 2000 support.
Damien, as far as you upgrading or not upgrading that is a question of
time. In 5 years any new system you will buy will be totally Vista
compatible. It will be unlikely anything earlier than Vista will work on
such a system. Who knows,in the next year that can happen. Point is,
sooner or later the change is inevitable unless you plan to buy one of
Del's Linux notebooks or a Mac, etc Vista is our future like it or not.
