[DUG] D2007 under VIsta

Once I had Vista tweaked so it behaves largely like XP (i.e.
minimising all the unwanted "are you sure" type dialogs), I've found
it perfectly acceptable for D2007 and other work.

In other words, if you have a Vista machine (or are feeling compelled
to actively cover Vista), go ahead and put D2007 on it.

If you are getting a new machine and still feel you have a viable
choice of XP, you may prefer to stick with XP.

Not that I have noticed. I have not tried to actively impose Vista-
style themes on the apps in any way.

Ditto, and yes, same story.
