[Dxbase] Winhelp32.exe for Vista now available

Thu Mar 29 06:34:51 EST 2007

I have been running XP for several years now and I like it much better over
win2k. I had to reinstall 2k many times usually every 4 to 6 months. With XP
I have only had to do that once and I use my machine for many things.
Software development, gaming, ham, web development, graphics work and the
list goes on.
I will not upgrade to Vista though unless forced to. (I.E. new computer in
which I build my own.) I find no advantage to Vista other than it's neat and
the cool factor and, at this point, the "I have to have the latest and
greatest" factor. It is pretty bad that you have to buy a "gaming" machine
just to run the operating system! (If you use the 3D junk.)
Hasn't anyone noticed that a lot of apps and hardware don't work with Vista?
The really cool stuff was stripped from Vista!
That's my 2 cents.

Never ran Win 2K but I sure am not going to give up my
XP Pro for the new Vista. I'll be running XP Pro until
there is nothing that will run on it OR maybe a better
OS but NOT Vista.

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.
