I am a licensed user of Cool Edit 2000 and have been for many years. When
I purchased it originally the license was about $20. Cool Edit 2000
worked perfectly under Windows XP and is definitely the best audio editor
I have used - and I have tried most of them!

I agree totally , I've used it for many years, under win98, win 2000 and
now winXP, and it's always worked perfectly, which is more than can be
said for most software I've used!

When I upgraded to Vista I had problems with Cool Edit 2000.

Sounds like yet another reason NOT to use Vista! Microsoft will have to
drag me kicking and screaming before I'll touch it.

I WAS dragged kicking and screaming into Vista because I wanted to use
Windows Media Center with a Media Center Extender - and WMC is only
available in Vista.

My computer is configured with dual boot XP/Vista and for several months I
primarily used XP - and only used Vista when necessary. Now I must confess I
have got used to Vista and use it all the time, only reverting to XP when
really necessary (increasingly rare!). I have disabled annoyances like UAC
(User Access Control) and the infantile arty-farty desktop graphics and now
find that, after all the Vista updates and SP1, all my applications work
fine. Even Cool Edit 2000 is acceptable if allowances are made for small
display inaccuracies.

I now find that Vista is more stable than XP (I have never seen a blue
screen!), more secure, and in some ways easier to use than XP.

If you have the time and patience give Vista a try. You might end up
preferring it!
