Re: vista - I think you will see a much wider adoption of the Operating System with the official release of Vista Service Pack One this March. I am running it on my machines and things are working just fine. - - - - John Yaglenski President / Chief Executive Officer Levelbest Communications I: www.levelbest.com P: 301.591.2481 / 888.229.1779 graphic & web design - strategic marketing - community websites This e-mail message and any attachments are confidential and may be privileged.

But as you can imagine, Melco continues to make it better every year. One feature that comes to mind is the redraw tool in DS. It is now on the front screen and very user friendly. There are also many more hoops available in the hoop manager. A couple of Operator Alphabet fonts have been added. As for AOS, you've got the Auto Acti-feed feature that is a must if you don't have it already. Of course it has been fine tuned since it's inception so it works rather well. You also have a lower limit for the acti-feed feature that allows you greater control. It wasn't until the last quarter of 2007 that a version of Melco software came available that made it compatible with Windows Vista. I've only had the opportunity to install it on one customer's computer and they don't seem to be having any troubles to speak of but personally I don't like Vista as of yet. I guess it's because it's new and the fact that I'm so comfortable with Windows XP/2000. I've spoken with a great number of folks who feel the same about Vista. I'm sure in time people will warm up to it but don't know how long that will take.
