Visio...A great specialized software product [Posted on 2007-06-27]
I own Visio versions since the very first version before Microsoft bought the company.

Visio is a great product for makng organization charts, floor plans, diagrams, strip maps etc.

This latest version is designed to work in Vista and with the latest office product versions.

One thing I noticed is that this version of Visio lacks the current office 2007 interface. So it kinda of feel like it is one version behind.

I wish that microsoft would finally go ahead and just make Visio a permanent part of the office package. Also they need to just have one version. Why do they have the profession edition that comes with a few extra templates (none of which are worth the price). I have own both versions of Visio and I find it very frustrating that if you want to do a quick electrical diagram you have to buy the professional edition. The professional edition offers very specific type templates such as electrical, electronic, architecture etc.

The software shipped rather quickly. I had one minor installation problem where the upgrade would not install due to previous version I own.

I had to go to the microsoft web help site. Fortunately I found why it would not install and fixed the problem. I tried upgrading from a very old version of Visio on CD ROM and the software couldnt not find the dll file to validate. I got an install error message. I went to Microsoft help and discovered I had to point the validation tool to another directory on the CD ROM. Not sure why microsoft didnt build it into the installer.
