Windows XP is our current recommendation for desktop software for CPA firms as you approach tax season this year. We also recommend that all firms get at least one Vista system to begin testing software and for compatibility issues with clients. All of the top software publishers claim their software will be Vista compliant soon but we have yet to see much. Almost all systems you buy now will come pre-loaded with Vista. You might want to seek out a Windows XP option on new systems as re-installing XP can be a lot of work. Article - Microsoft Extended XP available deadline to 6/30/08. Look into virtual machines (Virtual PC or VMWare) to run legacy tax and accounting software on Vista for years to come.
