Vista - Norton Ghost 10 And Nero 6

I have just recently purchased Norton Ghost 10 and found that it's not
compatable with Vista, keeps telling me to upgrade...Upgrade to what?...Nero
Image is also not acceptable(Not sure about the entire program)...Is there a
way to solve these issues or must we now wait for Norton Ghost 11...Surely
these companies must have known about Vista and planning the programs
compatability....

Rest assured that once Microsoft releases the final version of Windows Vista
Symantec, Ahead and other software companies will release new versions of
their software to work with Vista.

.... and all of the products we already own will have to be replaced...

Most of mine already won't install (run) on this beta. If it is like XP any
replacements purchased in the first few months will require endless updates
until all the wrinkles are ironed out.

Thanks for the response...Well it seems to me that the products that we own
now that work on WinXP ect, will have to stay as they are until they come out
with the Final Vista...(That's if we are to purchase the Vista OS)...So I
won't be buying anymore until such time the products are Vista
compliant...but will update where I can...

Question:...Will the Final Vista be available as an OS?...OR do we have to
buy the PC in order to get the Vista OS??...

You will be able to buy it (though I am not sure what you will buy) (Vista
will be upgradable after purchase as all version code will be present), and
if XP is an example, at least when I bought mine, you paid for XP and
received about twice the value in other products at the local superstores
like Best Buy and CompUSA.
It will be interesting to see how they handle the initial purchase from the
store. How will they know which version you paid for?

Yes, it would be interesting to see what happens in a case like that...When
you say upgradable, are you refering:
From Windows XP...
Vista after Purchase or upgradable from RCI,

Upgradable from Vista Home to Pro, Ultimate etc. Not sure upgrade is
correct though I have seen it used, like a lot of software that includes all
versions and if you install a lesser version you go to the website and buy
another key to 'unlock' additional features.

"Upgrade limitations
You may not be able to upgrade your installation of Windows Vista Beta 2 (or
RC1) to the final, commercially available edition of Windows Vista. To
upgrade you will need to acquire the final edition of Windows Vista and you
may have to do a clean installation. "

Thanks for the Info...
I would have to be very careful making decisions of which edition of Vista
to purchase...So far I would go on the safe side and go for the 'Pro' Version
which seems to be sufficient...
Now the Vista beta 2, is that on the level of Home or Pro?...

PS: Colin, you don't have to have anymore 'Bloody Mary's' I won't ask such
stupid questions as I did in the other thread...
