will bob run vista

Hello!
http://blogs.pcworld.com/techlog/archives/001614.html

Although come to think of it, I'm now curious whether it'll run in Windows Vista...

Cheers, Roman

It probably will work in Vista, but who would want to use it?
On a side note, for those nostalgic for the look of BOB but with updated graphics, though still hardly more useful, go to http://www.wincustomize.com/ViewSkin.aspx?SID=1&SkinID=3041&LibID=31
You need the DesktopX program to run it, but it gives a good fascimile of the BOB interface.

Very nice :)
but..... The message about canceling the meeting does follow the vista style guide with the correct use of English.
Eg, Pre Vista style Title : Are you sure Text : Cancel the meeting Option : Yes No
New vista way Title: Meeting Text : If you do xyz your abc will 123 Option : Cancel Interview, Stick with it
Note the Vista and Bob way, we have VERBS on the buttons. You sometimes the consequence of an action as well as the button, look around vista you will see for yourself.

Isn't Bob 16-bit? If so, it'll only run on 32-bit Windows Vista.

Hehe ... Text and Tone: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/UxGuide/UXGuide/Text/TextAndTone.asp

Voice Use the active voice, which emphasizes the person or thing doing the action. It is more direct and personal than the passive voice, which can be confusing or sound formal.
Acceptable: Icons can be arranged by name in alphabetical order. When a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) or laptop is plugged in .
Better: You can arrange icons in alphabetical order by the icon name. When you plug in any Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) or laptop .

Don 't invent words or apply new meanings to standard words. Assume that users are more familiar with a word 's established meaning than with a special meaning given it by the tech industry. When an industry term is required, provide an in-context definition. Avoid jargon, but remember that some expressions specific to computer usage -hacker, burn a CD, etc. -are already part of everyday speech.
Incorrect: You can use folders to bucketize your favorites.
Correct: You can use folders to categorize your favorites.

P.S. http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=bucketize

Word has no meaning, however it is used by asshat Nortel managers in an attempt to sound knowledgable. I want to align the PFN on usage of the Clarify Patch/MR class field (in the Patch/MR Tab) to help bucketize/prioritize the daily WOH.
