,----[ Quote ]
| Compatibility problems that are still arising months after Vista's release
| are the reason, said Milman. "Windows' hallmark has always been its backward
| compatibility," he said, but a big chunk of support calls, especially from
| businesses, involve running third-party software on Vista. "We're seeing lots
| of problems with older programs that the customer has been running, sometimes
| for years," Milman said.
