Bear with me on this one. I have just made the biggest mistake in my life. I bought a Microsoft VISTA laptop. I only hope the dealer will be kind to me tomorrow. All - yes all - of my productive software - and all written by Microsoft - does not work on VISTA - ok I am talking basics here - Microsoft Visual Studio C++ v6 and Microsoft Visual Studio 2005. It reminds me of IBM's push to PS2/OS2 - anyone else remember the death of the IBM domination of the PC? Moral for Leica - do not try to be revoluationary with the R series. Attempt to follow IBM, and now Microsoft, and "force" a revolution on your loyal customers and you face disaster. My laptop either goes back to an understanding dealer or is an very, very expensive paper weight.
