Microsoft warns on Vista update

[gkd_uk]

Microsoft is warning Windows Vista users that a forthcoming service pack for the operating system may stop some third-party programs working.

The Windows Vista update will be released to the public in mid-March.

I am also fine with XP - let them sort out the vista before i even start to contemplate upgrading to it ! from the start it has been plagued with problems!

I waited and upgraded to Vista recently when I bought a new Dell flying machine. GOD i wish I hadn't.

While it is a fantastic in principle system, I am getting problems. It is not ompatible with bloody Adobe Acrobat for heavens sake. the single most popular document format on the web, and Vista will not work with the latest version of it
