    I convinced mgmt. to get new equipment and it comes with Vista by default.
    I have done a test run on another machine of 07 and Vista in comp. mode and
    it seems OK.

    Has anyone any expereince with this and is it reliable enough for mission
    critical income producing work or is it not quite there yet ?


    TIA.

    Are you reliable enough to run VISTA?
    Here are just a few of the services that collect and send data to
    Microsoft:

    Auto Root Update, Customer Experience Improvement Program (CEIP),
    Device Manager Digital Certificates, Driver Protection, Dynamic
    Update, File Association Web Service, Games Folder, Input Method
    Editor (IME), Installation Improvement Program, Internet Explorer 7,
    IPv6 Network Address Translation (NAT) Traversal Service (Teredo),
    Network Awareness, Network Connectivity Status Icon, Parental
    Controls, Peer Name Resolution Service, Plug and Play, Plug and Play
    Extensions, Program Compatibility Assistant, Rights Management
    Services (RMS) Client, Update Root Certificates, Windows Control
    Panel, Windows Mail (Windows Live Mail, Hotmail, or MSN Mail), Windows
    Media Digital Rights Management and Windows Media Player.

    There are several more listed on the Vista Privacy Statement site with
    explanations of what they do. We won't even go into detail about the
    nightmare or ineptitude of Windows Genuine Advantage.

  7. The indexing background routine tries to call crl.micros**t.com as
    well, using http port 80.
