Speaking of MR4, has there been any discussion about supporting Vista?  My agency is progressing towards Vista, and MR3 will not run (I tried).

HAZUS-MH MR3 is not supported on Windows Vista, so you will need to keep a computer with a copy of XP around in order to run HAZUS.

Fortunately, support for the 32-bit version of Vista was listed as part of the MR4 upgrade of HAZUS.
