Try actually using Vista instead of listening to all the armchair critics.

I can't gamble. I use Adobe's Photoshop 7.0. It does everything I
want it to do, so I see no reason to upgrade to the CS versions.
There's enough "armchair critics" out there who have reported that
Photoshop 7.0, and other versions of Photoshop that are not the most
current, either will not run or run buggy that I will stick with XP.

I'm also using CorelDraw 9.0, and my own past experience with Corel is
that changes cause problems with Corel programs, and that Corel will
not provide support. Again, CorelDraw 9.0 does exactly what I want
done, and I see no reason to upgrade.

I don't give a damn if Vista works great with this or that program
that I don't use, or if newer versions of Photoshop and CorelDraw work
with Vista. I looking at this from a purely personal,
program-specific, view.

You snipped my statement about those "armchair critics" being in the
Photoshop newsgroups. As far as I'm concerned, the core group of
posters in those newsgroups are people who I pay attention to. If
they say Vista is not compatible with PS 7.0, I believe them.


I wouldn't suggest upgrading an older PC which is running fine on XP, but
with a decent new PC (dual-core and 2GB memory) you should have nothing to
fear. I have Vista on a couple of PCs here and everything seems to be
running just fine. I'm pleased with Vista.

That's fine for you, but unless you are running the same key programs
that I am running, your experience doesn't count with me. I'm talking
hundreds of dollars in upgrading that I don't need or want.
