Email support from Dataviz for my version of D2G has ended so I can't
ask them, and their support pages don't say:

Is Docs To Go v8 (8.003) compatible with Vista? If not, is the current
version still compatible with Office 2000?

Short answer, no.

Off hand it should be, although I haven't done any real testing. The
file formats for DOC and XLS, anyway, haven't changed significantly.

There is a free trial available, that would probably be the easiest way
to answer this one.

I was afraid of that.

But they have changed. I know that they have indeed removed support
for some older versions of Office, which is why I asked.

In theory, yes. In practice, not so much. My primary system is still
XP, and I would only be using this in Vista occasionally.

I don't actually try to synchronize documents at all anymore, at this
point I just use DTG10 in native format (only native format is supported
now) and move files around using an SD card.

This works great, for the most part, and far better then synching ever
did.

Ie, no more "Docs2Go" format? If so, then GOOD! I'm always fighting
with that when I add a new file to the sync list.

I prefer synching. It's a set-and-forget thing.

I'm now waiting on a response from Chapura re: PM-XT 3.x and Vista. I
expect that they'll say it's not compatible too, but I want to check
first.
