So W7 is simply a marketing ploy, to avoid the bad rep of Vista?

Windows 7 will still be Windows.
Will it solve Vista issues?
No... it will simply present them in another annoying way.
"You clicked on an icon to start a program. I'm smart enough to know you clicked an icon, but I have to ask... do you REALLY want to start that program"
WTF?
written by an admittedly biased Ubuntu user... Ubuntu since August of 2005. I will not go back.

I gave up. Took the Boat Anchor into Seattle Laptop. Traded it in on a Lenovo Thinkpad running Windows XP and Open Office. I'll decide later if I want to spend $189 to get Access, as well.
I'll keep you posted as to loading Encore Pro. Forgot to bring the disks with me this weekend, so I haven't gotten there yet.
Cheers,
B.

That is the MS development philsophy.
Say what you will, MS has provided me w/a 25yrs career.
DOS3.3 through, presently Vista.
If this stuff worked as advertised and users could
actually figure it out, I'd be out of a job.
Versions?? yes, keep them coming.

I may be certifiable.... but certified scientist? ... hmmm...
yeah yeah... I'm MS certified as well. Although I have to admit I stopped after NT.
I do, however, understand job security.
And actually... I sell MS licensing state wide and probably do 5 to 7 million a year. I love when they rev new product as it breaks all the old stuff and people have to upgrade!
I just won't actually USE it myself.... unless it's in a virtual machine sandbox.... then maybe...

I sure would hate to give up Pro Analyzer also. Just when I think I can survive Vista or Windows 7 I find out more bad things about it!!

Because the price was right. My DME gave it to me for free!
I'm also hopeful that EPAnalyzer will work with 64bit Windoze 7 sometime in the future.
