We're releasing another version of our flagship software "Symplicity" at Sylvan, and this version has been verified to work on Vista without problems by our development and Q/A teams. There was an internal push to make sure it works for Vista. I'm in charge of the pilot sites---nearly all of the sites I contacted have said that they are staying AWAY from Vista due to recommendations to them by others. I guess this speaks back to the OP's point..."the word is out"...whether the word is legit or not, it's out there as "stay away from Vista." Hence where the term "Vistaster" came from I guess. ;-) _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
