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.

Chris,
  Sad to say, obsolescence is their most important product.
