Hi all
Just read Bugs's troubles with Access on Vista Beta2
I have been developing for some time now and are a little concerned about
Vista. Has anyone else any idea how existing programs and new instalations
of
Access will work with the new MS Vista?
Along with words that strike fear into every developer please find some kind
words like "it will be OK" or "Stop worrying" and "don't you think that
Microsoft will sort all those nasty little bugs out for you!!". Please,,

My understanding is that Vista has been delayed.
PRESUMABLY they're working on it.
SP-0 of the product, that is.
Howzat? <grin>
Oh alright. Stop worrying. There's no extra charge for the bugs.

Someone is encountering problems in a Beta? This is not news! There are
*supposed* to be problems with Betas. That's what Betas are for, to find the
problems. If there weren't any problems, there wouldn't be any need for
Betas.
No, Microsoft will not fix all the bugs in Vista. They didn't fix all the
bugs in Windows XP, or Windows 2000, or Windows NT, or Windows 9.x, or ...
well, I'm sure you get the picture. The world did not come to an end when
any of those operating systems were released. It probably won't come to an
end with the release of Vista, either.
Words that strike fear into every developer? You're kidding, right? Didn't
you know that developers know no fear? :-)

I know some MVPs are working with A2007 inside Vista. I doubt the
bugs will be substantial.

Thank you gentlemen. That's a great help.
I have a young 21 year old in the family who works for an organisation in
the high end of IT instalation and consultancy. He is convinced that the
world will end when MS launch Vista. Is it common for consultants to
frighten the pants off everyone. I'm sure it cannot be in their interest to
have lots of customers contacting them for advice about the latest
apocalypse,,,,,,,,,,, can it?

Almost all new PCs will be shipped with Vista once it becomes
available. So I don't see how MS can make it a disaster.

And I have a 54yr-old cynical twin brother who looks just like me...I only
post on his behalf <vbg>
Seriously now,
I discourage anything without an SP number, because the first users are guinea
pigs. Lemmings. Moles and Earthworms and other blind things. Of course, one
can't stop customers buying latest Windows, though one can control (say)
Access Runtime version (this is a toolkit newsgroup).
I believe it's common for consultants to be wary of brand-new software. Just
look at Access95, which was the first 32-bit Access.
Where did you read the bug troubles? If it was on MS site or likely to be
brought to their attention, then they must be working on it. If you're
participating in a beta, shouldn't you be notifying them? To me, existing
Access s/w either works or doesn't on Vista, and I don't intend to find out
before necessary. By that time, hopefully there'll be a bunch of Lemmings in
the newsgroups who can give us the benefit of their experience. !!!
