are there any new computers with Vista?
I tried Windows 7, and I may be too old to manage all changes. If I order a new computer. Can I get Vista instead?
Hello LexiBobe,
You're never too old. Windows 7 is built on the Windows Vista kernel, so the learning curve is not that steep. All PCs now come with Windows 7, mainly because it's a much better operating system than Windows Vista. Windows 8 is now also developing and there is talk of a possible output of Windows 8 to the end of 2012, so my advice would be to try to master Windows 7 because Windows 8 has a bigger learning curve.
You may be able to buy a copy of Vista, but if you don't buy an approved point of sale to Microsoft, you'd have to be wary. There are many out there pirated copies and you don't want to waste your money with the purchase of one only to find out that it stops working a few days after you install.
This forum post is my own opinion and does not necessarily reflect the opinion or the opinion of Microsoft, its employees or other MVPS.

Are there still known issues with Lightoom 5 and El capitan with respect to attachment? I know that problems have been resolved with Lightoom CC. I looked on the Internet but most of the references are Lightoom CC. Ive got all the updates with Lightoom 5, (Camera RAW 8.1), but also Apple, (El Capitan 10.11.3), but my Nikon D800 will not always tie.
HAL P Anderson wrote:
The problem is in the SDK (SDK) of Nikon. He used features of OS that changed with El Cap. All previous versions of LR were broken by the Exchange operating system. For LR 5 to work, it must be associated with the new SDK of Nikon, and Adobe is not reissue of older versions.
The result is: LR5 and previous versions will continue to not be able to attach Nikon under El Capitan. I'm sorry.
HAL
Although what you say is maybe true, I'm not sure, but there were reports of people that says exactly the opposite. Home of Nikon has not worked in 2015/6 but continued to work in LR 5 on the same Mac running 10.11.x.
