OK I am over you insulting me twice in two posts.

Let me actually respond to your post.

ACT 2007 is compatible with Vista with a patch. If you are running an older version of Peachtree that more than likely means you can't run Vista anyways. Besides that any CIO worth his salary would not upgrade any PC's to Vista just because its a new OS. If you would need to replace a PC on your system for some reason, guess what, the corporate XP license is still going to be good.

SO basicly I am saying a company would not migrate to an OS until all implications of what they are running is considered in the matter, if they deem the migration necessary then they will adapt to it.Once again ANY change by any corporation if done right will be weighed properly and shouldnt effect them. Vista itself is not forcing itself on anyone, it is the choice of the company to make.

This isnt a failure to grasp its reality. It costs a company zero dollars to maintain what they have. Sure eventually they will migrate to a new OS but eventually they will also update there other software also(shock, but hey its OK for the other software just not the OS, right?)

"ACT 2007 is compatible with Vista with a patch."

That's proof that Vista isn't backwards compatible. A backwards compatible OS doesn't require patches for older software to run.

This is a big deal.

Companies contemplating a move to Vista should consider that their existing proprietary software may very well *not* run under Vista.
