Just a question about Vista and FP... no need for a long/involved thread...

We already have Vista and have started more rigorous testing than the
preliminary tests I had done back in November.  I don't expect any
major problems with filePro itself, though the install may need to be
tweaked to handle Vista's new security.

We are also looking into the "Works with Windows Vista Logo Program"
from Microsoft, which (as the name implies) would permit us to include
a "Works with Windows Vista" logo on our website/packaging/etc., as well
as some other benefits from Microsoft.  Given the low requirements of
the program (basically the program must install on Vista without errors
and run "as well on Windows Vista as it does on Windows XP SP2" -- their
words, not mine), I don't foresee any problems there as well.
