[Dxbase] Winhelp32.exe for Vista now available

Wed Mar 28 20:22:22 EST 2007

Steve,
Well if you are still on win 2000 you missed a fantastic product "XP" over
the last 5 years that made 2000 look like a boat anchor. Vista is doing
just fine, they are based around ONLINE HELPS now and not help files.
That's old technology.
Catch the wave or float out to sea my friend.

Just curious.....why would anyone want to flog themselves with another 
Microsoft product that we all know is shot full of holes and will take 
years to stabilize???? Serious question. I am still running Windows 
2000 and it is rock solid. I just don't understand what Vista does for 
you unless your hobby is computing.
