Actually lots of 32 bit software will work with Home Vista but the one needed for grahics and rendering will not, that is why I will not upgrade, its not fair I have spent hundreds of dollars here in australia buying products and I refuse to upgrade just because microsoft has a new operating system that in my books is nothing but an attempt by microsoft to get us to use only their products, even the latest virus engines will not work on Vistra, I shudder to think what would happend to all my programs if I migrated them to Vista Pro
