Windows Vista Statement

Vista update - We realize that you probably won't be able to get any operating system but Vista on new computers. If you get a Vista machine, make sure to get the Vista Business edition. This is Microsoft's description of it - "Windows Vista Business is the first edition of Windows designed specifically to meet the needs of small businesses. You'll spend less time on technology support-related issues-so you can spend more time making your business successful. Windows Vista Business is the definitive choice for your business today and tomorrow."

It is in your best interests to avoid the Home Basic and Home Premium editions; as the name implies, they are designed for home or personal use, not business. We know, without a doubt, that our touchscreen EMR will not function properly on a Vista Home edition. Our practice management software may run on the home edition, but we cannot recommend it as the optimal solution.
