   I've been using retail for about three days now (thank you Microsoft Vista Beta!).

   I can't wait to see what Microsoft is planning for the GA release.

   Quick question... thanks God you brought this blog subject up I was waiting for something like this...

   Ok here is the question:

   Em, do you remember when Windows XP was two months from release? and if you do, do you remember that there was a countdown clock at the main page @ Microsoft.com saying something joyful about Windows XP? Yes you do! so do I :)

   Well, then how come Microsoft hasn't spent a few minutes to bring up the same type of java scrip on their main website to countdown the time until Vista releases to wide availability?

   I mean, isn't Vista suppose to be the most meaningful piece of Software at Microsoft ever since Windows 95?????

   :) I really wish they could add that clock at the main site, it would help the hype a lot; I did with XP (at least on me jeje)

   Now that Vista is ready to launch, what about the issue of winhlp32. Is this included the retail package? Is it going to have to be down loaded or what? Or is Vista going to cripple older programs? Also is there any capture hardware and programs availible? I have an ATI all in wonder PCI x video card, ATI has not come up with the capture drivers and software.

   I am running Vista RC2 and I have to switch hard drives to convert old home VCR tapes to DVD.

   The old greeting card maker, address book and envelope maker I use works great on Vista except for the help files which is winhlp32.

   If I can't use the programs and hardware which I use a lot why would I upgrade the Vista?

   Thanks

    Hey s1001820:  there are 5 SKUs of Windows Vista (not including the Starter Edition, which is available only in emerging markets): Home Basic, Home Premium, Business, Enterprise and Ultimate.

    Hey oldguy28:  newer Help files will be made available via an online connection -- you need to indicate that you want Help to go online for the latest information the first time you invoke it.  We're doing our best to ensure that legacy applications are compatible with Windows Vista, but some IHVs will need to update their driver packages to ensure hardware compatibility; in this case, the manufacturer's Web site is the best place to check for updates.

    Hi Nick

    Were all excited about Windows Vista in the UK but not about the price! Amazon US have Home Premium listed for $ 159.00 whereas Amazon UK it is £ 149.00 at today exchange rate that makes it $ 287.57 another case of rip off Briton & Microsoft Ripping off its UK customers as with the XBOX 360 price. Why is it Microsoft give preferential treatment to its US customers?
