I use Vista Home premium and have had no trouble once i got used to it. My old photo editing programme (Photosuite 1V) doesn't work well on it but then it is really old. Some of OH's games don't work so well (old ones), most have patches to download. But all in all it is fine. I have FTM 2008 and it is OK. |

Ive had vista since April on this new puter from Dell (and I would recommend Dell to everyone - its been the best service Ive ever had from a computer company) . I cant say Ive had any problems with Vista? |

Bottom line is that we are all going to have to move to Vista at some point so why not do it when buying a new computer? |

Tracy, with regards to programmes, it depends what version you are running as to whether they are Vista compatible or not. I know there is a patch for FTM to enable earlier versions to run on Vista, I am using it! |

Will you end up having to buy all new versions of software or will the old FTM, for example, run OK on vista? |

We got a new computer last week which has Vista and although some things are slightly different I have managed to get used to it without too much difficulty. |

In the New Year, I intend to buy another pc, but am confused by various reports that Vista is not worth having. I have been using XP without any problems whatsover, but getting a new pc with XP is a problem. |
