Good question, Rich.

Shouldn't effect it. Vista's default browser will be IE 7 which views it
just fine currently.

Not a fan of Vista at the moment and, frankly, I think this is a huge
opportunity for Apple. Vista pretty much forces most people to junk their
current computer and get a new one. If you're going to do that, why not just
get a Mac and be done with it?

The software I sell (SolidWorks) was born in a PC/Win environment. The other
day I installed it on a friend's iMac. It worked flawlessly.

In the software biz, change can be a bad thing. It certainly doesn't spell
doom for Microsoft, but it sure does open the door for Apple. It's going to
be an interesting couple of years, especially if Bill Gates retires.

By the way, here's a link to the Marketplace:

http://sail2live.com/baba/phpbb

THIS IS TEMPORARY! You can post in the marketplace if you'd like, but other
than the link above, no one on the outside world knows it exists yet.
Anything you do post, however, will come across just fine once the site is
complete.

Is anyone using Vista to view the new web site?

Not sure – but, does this effect the way the site displays?
