RE: MS Vista and iSeries Access support

["Wilt, Charles" <CWilt@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Nobody said it wouldn't work, though the MS fan-boy implied that it
wouldn't, "Very curious to know why client access cant run on Vista"
from the fact that IBM doesn't officially support Vista yet.

All that was really said was it wasn't officially supported by IBM yet.
Nor will it be until Vista actually ships.

As far as MS bashing, what would you expect when a MS fan-boy chimes in
with some IBM bashing, "what technical reason could there be that it
would not work?" and some MS fantasy "MSFT is really good about
maintaining backwards compatibility."
