Vista

I got to go to a Microsoft T2 event today, which was basically a preview of Windows Vista for companies like ours that support, install, and sell Microsoft products.  I have been a big fan of Windows XP and thought it was the best product Microsoft had put out.  (I am still pissed about  ME), so much so, that I have not been that excited about Vista.  I guess I had the mentality of, "if it isn't broke, don't fix it."  Well, this event completely changed my mind.  Vista is so good looking. (I have not had a date in a while).  Besides looks, it is super efficient.  One of the worst things that happens during the work day is being forced to shutdown your workstation.  You lose time  waiting for your computer to boot up and then have to reopen all your programs.  With Vista, your workstation will restart much faster and open up to the exact programs that you had before.  The other big improvement I noticed is that it is about five seconds faster to jump to other programs and windows features.  You don't have to drill down 5 windows to find the system restore.  I will install Vista as soon as Microsoft releases it to us and the give reports on how Amicus, TimeMatters, PCLaw, HotDocs, and Worldox work with this new software.  The same goes for Office 2007.

I was wondering if you ever had a chance to test out PCLaw 8 or 8.05 with Vista? I am looking to get PCLaw up and running but every computer comes with Vista these days and PCLaw says an update won't be available til the end of March. Thanks!
