"But what really grates is that your system is incompatible with two
of the vital tools of my trade. Vista refuses to load the software for my
newish Olympus digital recorder. And here's what takes the biscuit. Vista
rejects my HP IPAQ handheld device - even though the software for that was
created by Microsoft!

So in order to put Vista at the centre of what I do, I would have to buy
hundreds of pounds of new hardware. Which may be great news for your
industry, but makes me regret never having defected to Steve Jobs. Perhaps
now's the time.

The only thing that gives me any comfort is that I am apparently not alone
in my Vista-stress. Over lunch yesterday with the head of a very large
media company, I learned of Vista incompatibility problems with financial
ramifications that might actually register in Redmond."


It's what my NHS mate was saying. Imagine the above & now multiply by
all the pieces of kit the NHS has esp where the manufacturers are saying
"If we don't still sell it it is unlikely that...we will ever do vista
drivers..."

The NHS doesn't have the budget for a vast new hit buy esp if that was
instead of keeping people alive etc.
