Let me preface my questions by saying I truly love the EMC products. I am not here to rant. I have used 7, 7.5, 8 [only barely though] and now EMC9. From trial and error and with a lot of help from this forum I have actually created some DVD's that impress my grandchildren and myself - even though I am a true novice.
At the end of June I am planning on having my computer considerably upgraded [by the same fellow that built this one]. Notwithstanding Grandpa Bruce's admonitions to the contrary I intend to install Vista Ultimate. After doing so and installing an "Office" version as well, it is my intent to install nothing else or hook up no other hardware until I install EMC9. Hopefully this will allow the ultimate "clean install".
My problem is I have become confused about what EMC version to install. I did not know until recently that there were other versions such as 9.1.45 [mine is 9.0.088]. My questions:
1) How can one be sure he is installing the latest version of EMC9?
2) In the "News and Announcements" section in early May - John from Roxio suggested that the "Vista Certified" Version was being distributed. Is that the 9.1.45 version or something else?
3) Is the much anticipated "patch" going to be the 9.1.45 version or an even later version?
4) How does one even tell what version is in the box? I could not ascertain the version of my current product without having the disc loaded. There was nothing on the box that I could find and when I look on line at the version touted by Roxio as "Vista Certified" I can find nothing to suggest the actual version of that product either.
5) Finally, should I purchase the 32bit version of Vista? Which "bit" version is best with EMC9.
I would appreciate any information and advice you care to give.
