I had to buy a new ‘puter because the tax software I use refuses to run on Vista as of January this year.

Color me not impressed

You have a computer running Vista? How quaint. :-)

The software company I'm a System Admin for discontinued support for Vista a year ago. The Vista user base for our software had dried up to nothing. We put out a note to all our customers two releases ago: "Next release we're dropping support for Vista. If this is a problem for you contact us right away." Crickets. The next release we had heard not one thing, so we dropped support for Vista. Still have yet to hear anything about Vista.

You couldn't upgrade your old computer to, say, Windows 7? The system requirements are identical to Vista, maybe even less.
