Microsoft has a history where each OS is not stable until they "stop messing with it" This means that "Vista" won't be stable until "Vista2" (Whatever it's called) comes out.
I have lots of PC's since I have to have a PC for each OS that we support.
1. A Windows 98 PC that runs dos, 95, 98
2. A Windows 2000 PC that used to also boot ME (We don't support ME anymore)
3. Three XP Pro computers. (Two can boot Vista)
I also have a Linux file server with a raid hard drive.
But the boss is saying that we are going to have to support Vista and our device driver won't load on Vista without a re-write.
Some drivers will work on Vista and I've managed to keep using my HP LaserJet 6L and the JetDirect 170X even though they are not meant to be used together.
PS: And Yes you can still get XP from DELL since that is where we are getting PC's with both XP and Parallel ports from.
