What? You really think Micro$coff would use FUD to try to drive sales along with a new, totally secure Operating System? They couldn't be that heartless! Tell me it ain't so... My gawd, what is the world coming to?!? heh-heh... Sounds like I can use the new Vista O/S as the Perfect Excuse to drive even more revenue from my loyal clients. Yep, a new Vista Compatible version of my apps ought to really please them... "Step right up, get your impervious, totally secure Gil Hale applications - now new & improved with Vista Compatibility (upgrade strongly recommended to ensure compliance with The New OS Order)." Yeah, that ought to serve humanity well, eh? I am sure glad I did not drink the SQL Server Lite Kool-Aid. What's next? Lite Versions are not supported, and all Lite Versions are replaced by the Full Version to ensure Total Security? This is too funny... All I can say is: "Come Ed, let's get to Atlanta so I can see Dabo!"
