Andrew, Well I think older versions of Jaws will work on Vista? Not one hundred percent on that but sure some one will correct me if I am wrong. Also who wants to upgrade to Vista straight away, chances are it will be full of bugs like XP when it first came out. The wise will probably wait a while until its had a service pack or 2, like SP2 with windows XP and then only if and when you need to upgrade your machine.
