The only Data losses I have had in 10years plus of full electronic medical
records was due to the medical software I used & not the operating system.
The only exception to this was the 1st releases of Win95.  Win95 had
problems of not always saving data.  Since that was rectified by MS the only
other data losses were due to the medical software & not the OS.  I know of
lots of people that has had & still have data loses but most of them was due
to not doing backups - but none are due to the OS, and eventually the system
crashes etc.  Then the cost is very high and the IT people make excellent
money trying to salvage it.

6 month ago Vista was even more a moving target than it is still nowadays.
I'd wish I could have your faith and remain unharmed by negative experience

6 month ago, the best you could achieve is get a general idea whether your 
software might work in principle under Vista.

Yep - and plenty of people made excellent money in attempts salvaging the
data 
of such fools.

The discussion is pointless. There can be fun in trying out the bleeding
edge, 
I indulge in it too. But I also indulge in the belief that I know what I am 
doing and I have confidence that I can fix things when they go wrong. Not 
many can say that. Those who can't and still use bleeding edge software for 
their business are fools who have be asking for the trouble they *will* get 
into. Just a matter of time.
