Hey Harry, was that you on the ZA forum on 5/16 saying the Vista beta
is s-l-o-w.
I was wondering if I should try it.
I am a long time za user and have prolly 8 months left on my ZA Pro
subscription.
I wish they could get it working.
However they are not the only one with vista probs.
Nvidia doesn't have a good driver for my $600 8800GTX.

BTW, sold my Luhrs 320T, currently boatless. Got grandkids now and no
time for a boat on the coast. I'm looking at trailer boats.

Indeed it was.

I was using ZA with my XP setup, and it worked well there. When I went
to VISTA, I thought I'd give the ZA Vista beta a good workout, but I was
offput by its slowness at boot up and the delays in opening programs,
plus the seemingly endless crashes of the beta (but not VISTA). So I
tried a few other suites this past week, including those from AVG, et
cetera, and right now am playing around with Kaspersky's suite. I'm
using the 6.0 version that works with VISTA, not the "7" beta. So far it
seems to be working just fine. It's fast, the updates work well, and it
has a reasonable interface. There's a 30-day free trial.

I got an agreement out of ZA to extend my paid subscription by six
months or until six months after the release of the ZA retail for VISTA.
When the retail version comes out, I'll look it over.

It does look like Vista is more trouble than it is worth. This is the
reason why some mfg'ers are now offering XP on their new machines.
