I'm about to buy a new laptop but don't see a vista compatability, just xp. Anyone know the answer? PS - I'm actually a little nervous about upgrading to vista - any comments?

Q. Does Adobe support Acrobat 8 on Windows Vista?

A. Prior to shipping in November 2006, Adobe tested Adobe Acrobat 8
software on prerelease versions of Windows Vista. We are now actively
testing Acrobat on the shipping editions of Windows Vista. Customers
can install and run Acrobat 8 today with some known issues. (To find
out more about these issues, visit www.adobe.com/go/support and
search on the keyword Vista in the Adobe knowledgebase). In the first
half of 2007, we expect to issue a free update to Acrobat 8 to
support Windows Vista.

Acrobat 7.0 and earlier versions do not support Windows Vista. Adobe
does not plan to release updates to Acrobat 7.0 and earlier for
Windows Vista compatibility.
