I am thinking of upgrading to the basic Windows Vista from XP Home
Edotion. Will I still be able to use Microsoft Photo Story 3. I think
it is an amazing little program and cant be without it.

====================================
PS3 runs on Vista for me and I've seen reports
from other users who had success. Hopefully
you will have the same result.

Before installing Vista...it may be a good idea to
have a look at the following site:

It runs the same on my Vista Home Basic laptop as it does on my XP Media
Center Edition laptop.... I use it on both daily.

At times it runs a tad better on Vista than on XP....

Personally, I recommend not uprading from XP to Vista unless there's some
compelling reason.... and recommend getting Vista on a new system unless
there's a compelling reason to stay with XP.

Hmmm... I use Photo Story 3 routinely on my Vista Home Basic laptop.
