      Given some of your other posts I'd actually put money on this not being a windows fault.

            I run Vista on my Vaio. No problems whatsoever.

            However, there were a couple of quirks with the filing system. Software that "works" on XP had to be recompiled and a couple of "bugs" sorted. For that I'm particularly happy.

            I now test all my software on Vista as well as XP.

            VS2005, I love you!
