| 521871 | 2007-02-02 08:41:00 | im about to buy a new laptop and it will be equiped with an OEM version of vista. my question is that will most of my current programs and aps run with this new OS? i would tell them to stick with xpp but the laptop itself comes pre equiped with vista business and i would miss out on an copy of vista if i tell them to install the xpp. i have all these little programs and aps that will be neccessary for work and the capability to recognise simp chinese is also essential. any ideas? |

| 521873 | 2007-02-02 08:47:00 | Recognising Simplified Chinese will be no problem. As per what Hitech said, download the upgrade advisor and run it to check. www.microsoft.com I have Vista Ultimate, and have found that 99% of my apps run fine. |

| 521874 | 2007-02-02 08:50:00 | yea it is a fresh system and vista is pre installed, the laptop will run it no problem, the question is that will majority of programs i used to use still work with vista? cause i got this program (stock marketing) which basically is the foundation of my job, i need to know if my new laptop will be capable to run this, abd btw it is in simp chinese. | kingping (11473) | ||
| 521875 | 2007-02-02 08:50:00 | I have Vista Ultimate, and have found that 99% of my apps run fine. And the ones that dont work will probably be fixed before long. Windows Vista WILL become the standard (sooner or later) and they wont want to be left behind |

| 521876 | 2007-02-02 09:00:00 | Somebody when you installed vista ultimate did vista automatically do a microsoft update to see if it needed any drivers for the programs you run, i have been told it can do this. | Hitech (9024) | ||
| 521877 | 2007-02-02 09:03:00 | drivers? there are drivers for programs now? i thought drivers were (edit) FOR hardware :confused: |

| 521878 | 2007-02-02 09:07:00 | Drivers have always been software i download them when i get hp alerts from hp support, come into the real world dannz. | Hitech (9024) | ||
| 521879 | 2007-02-02 09:07:00 | hitech: It automatically downloaded updated drivers for my hardware (with the exception of the printer, which I forgot to plug in). Software issues are Notepad++ and Cashbook Complete. kingping: Run the upgrade advisor on YOUR current pc running WinXP (or whatever), and it will tell you whether or not your software apps are compatible, and what to do if they're not (eg. updates). |

| 521880 | 2007-02-02 09:15:00 | Is it true that the OEM version of vista home premium is the full version, cause i am aware that the home premium upgrade isnt the full version. | Hitech (9024) | ||
