Windows Vista

[John Esak]

Thanks for the heads-up. Haven't picked which non-critical machine to
upgrade yet. Some have motherboard video... some have high end PC Express
cards.  Whichever I do, I'll be sure to check it all out first.... I have so
many worries about 3rd party software also, that it is a big job to make
sure the things I *really* want to run first time are working.  Hadn't
really thought about the hardware too much other than to assure myself that
it met their minimum requirements... which the PCI Express systems
definitely did. Whatever I do, it won't be on any development machine or
production machine.

Bui thanks.

John
