Could we start the ball rolling and ask where CAQDAS programs are sitting in terms of compatibility with Vista? I suppose that no-one whose computer currently does what they ask of it will hurry to convert to Vista - but presumably and inexorably it will become of interest to other subscribers to find out the 'hows', 'whens' and 'ifs' of CAQDAS compatibility with Vista. Could developers tell us, are CAQDAS programs already compatible, if not, when will they be...do they need to be - what are the issues for developers and users ? Perhaps this will also get discussed at the CAQDAS 07 conference in April, but a discussion might be useful here on the list? Thomas Muhr talked interestingly about this on the ATLAS.ti list a few days ago... could you cross post your message to this list Thomas?
