Which means having 5.0 by march and be compatible with Vista sound not too bad.

I'm willing to bet that by the time Vista is released, all verison of Navision will work on Vista.

Anyone up for it?

The wager is for... Hmm... a round of beer?

ara3n

Even 1.2, 2.0, 2.1?

Hm, I'm not that sure about that.

My guess is that vista has some changes in crucial DLL's for GUI and database connection, which is not supported for older versions of Navision. Kind of the same thing that some Win98 applications didn't work on WinXP.

The biggest use for computers for home users is gaming. So if Navision will not work, I'm going to assume that some of the games will not work either.

I don't believe Microsoft will jeopordise this so they can release Vista.

Hey guys

Will you be using vista before the release of a service pack!!!. Although I have this huge trust in Microsoft, honestly I have experienced many problems using software before SP1. Take Windows XP for example...haven't you had hard times working on it...Then with SP1, and SP2 everything changed, and we started to experience system stability.

Anyhow, I don't see the need for vista in using business applications, correct me if Iam wrong, but Is vista a replacement for XP?! :-k

Well ...

Games are usually no win32 apps ... so sure they'll work ...

Look, it's just a feeling, we'll see.

OK, I know I'm a bad, naughty boy, but just cannot resist the temptation:

Ubuntu 6.10 released on 26/10/2006 just as it was planned.

Waldo

Because they set the releasedate when it was already finished ...

I installed Ubuntu at home and guess what ... NAV still doesn't run on it #-o



Just joking around ...

This release date will really hurt the computer manufacturers this holday season. I can see people waiting another month to get the new OS. If I was to get a new laptop or PC for xmas, I know I would wait.

My guess is that if Manufactures will install the Professional version instead of home version

The adoption of XP will be the same as Vista. You're going to have early adopters and the late adopters.

I know some companies that still swears by Windows 98.

Then they'll probably don't run NAV4?

I can't wait to turn to Vista ...

I think so too. I saw the same when Win98 and XP were shipped. I was working at a local computer store in the weekends. You could see cleary that there were much more PC's sold that period.

Alex_Chow

Yep, we have one company that still uses Windows 98 and are currently using 3.7b.

Waldo

May be you can explain that the "98"-part refers to the year closest to the release date ... and also that it's almost 2007?
