  Oh .. that is other than this in August about Delphi 7 not running under
the Vista beta yet.

  "There is likely a dozen or more Win32 API calls that are used by Delphi
  7 that just aren't there yet, or are changed significantly enough for
  it to become totally incompatible."

    Thanks for that Nicholas, I had not read any thing definitive and have
only had the WinFX XAML stuff on board and not the full Vista beta (what was
that Longhorn?)

    So I was very keen to check out how far the .NET satrategy had gone in
preparing new applications for the Vista roll out next year.

    Doea any one know if there is anything we need to prepare for in Vista?
I havn't found anything Delphi specific about it so far.

why it
