The Iseries Access support crowd "strongly" recommended
to me that we should not use Vista in any flavor.

Yep. These guys have NO idea what they're doing. They had to scramble
together support for an OS that was testable by any developer for over
a year (and a lot longer for larger companies like IBM), and still
haven't got all kinks fixed now (a year later).

Resolving a simple issue in the AFP Printer Driver included with
iSeries Access took over 1.5 years and various levels of escalation to
fix.

They finally adapt standard MSI Packaging in the year 2008 with System
i Access V6R1.

Not to mention that iSeries Access is bloated and slow. Especially
iSeries Navigator, which still doesn't run correctly on Vista.

I believe a few people on the list are doing it and it works,
but I would tend to avoid Vista for a while longer.

Yeah, but Steve's Problems are related to Netserver which runs on
i5/OS, not with iSeries Access.
