But in my case, the hardware is no longer made.  The company went out of
business.  Do I have to replace an otherwise functioning expensive piece
of gear because the company that built it is no longer around to devise
a driver for it?  I suppose I'm trying to say that the specific piece of
hardware is no longer specifically viable.
        Had not a couple of German guys written a driver literally
before turning out the lights, I would have been screwed three years
ago.  There was no plug and play compatibility in the XP operating
system to cover this then.  Why should there be such backward
compatibility in Vista now?  I'd be thrilled to see it.  I just don't
think it will happen and some of us will have to literally pay the price
for that.

There's simply no way that microsoft will build an OS that isn't
backwards 
compatible.  If they did then millions of users would be left in the
lurch 
and probably running for the Mackintosh hills.  The worst case will be
that 
you need to install some new drivers for the old gear, just as Sandy
said.

If the hardware is still viable, I expect the
manufacturers to develop Vista drivers for
them.  We probably won't be using Vista for a
while, though.  Sonar 6 probably won't be compatible until next fall.

Jeremiah 29:11 - 14 A   .
11 For I know the plans I have for you," says the
Lord. "They are plans for good and not for
disaster, to give you a future and a hope. 12 In
those days when you pray, I will listen. 13 If
you look for me in earnest, you will find me when
you seek me. 14 I will be found by you," says the Lord.
