I'm 52 and didn't think that learning Vista was much of a challenge. Is it
different than XP? Yep, but not that much different; especially if you run it
in "Classic" mode. Yes, it is a problem if Vista won't run software that you
need for your business. Are there updated versions of the software available
that are Vista compatible? If not, maybe you could sell the Vista machine and
use the money to buy a one year old laptop with XP already on it. There must
be thousands of those available that are being traded in for new machines
with Vista.
