Re: Experiences with VISTA

Windows XP and Office 2003 are the last MS products that will be put on any
computer of mine, I tracked my time yesterday at work (slow day) and I lost
approx 1 hr total of "productive" time due to:

1.  The lovely I am MS Word I will reformat you document as you type cause I
know all including what you want to do.

2.  Window focus changes as your typing

3.  3 reboots/lockups

4.  Install updates (AGAIN!!!!!)

Sorry MS is total BS, why does anyone even consider it a multi tasking OS,
its still a single user OS with a windows front end, so it "looks" like its
doing more than 1 thing

The December svc pack for latest iSeries Access has the Vista support.
IBM has an apar on it in the iSeries Access home page.

btw - i went to the MS Roadshow - 4 hours - we averaged 1 crash/reboot per
hour for what they were trying to demo. But did get a cd good for free
download of Office 2007.
