</div></div>Lloyd, if the program you're writing is designed to be sold or distributed<br>
to the public then I'd highly recommend against doing anything that requires<br>
at least Vista. From what I've heard, the adoption rates of Vista and Win7<br>
haven't been very good and about half of the Windows systems out there are<br>
still XP and pretty much holding there. A *lot* of Windows users are<br>
deliberately sticking with XP, and you'll be loosing a lot of people.<br>
<br>
Of course, if your software is only designed to be used internally by some<br>
company, or just for you own use, etc., then obviously it doesn't matter...<br>
