For example, it took a

install maps, etc. didn't work with SP2 for a period, which was a major
PITA.


FWIW, MapSource works fine on Vista.


Oh, yeah, it now works on SP2 as well, but for a period of time (I can't
remember exactly how long, but it was more than a month, less than a
year) it didn't. As you can well imagine, having major issues with the
updating of nautical/offshore charts on chartplotters, GPSs, etc. in
larger boats, esp. in the wake of Katrina, was, um, well, not a good
thing.
