What's the word on Vista Help?

["Todd Sutherland" <firetail_documentation -at- hotmail -dot- com>]

Hi, folks. The company where I work is planning to launch a new product line 
this year, and in conjunction with that, our department is looking into 
changing the look of our client-facing documentation. There?s some 
suggestion the purse strings will be loosened for this project, so now is 
the time to start planning for the next phase.

Something that?s come to our attention lately is Vista Help. It?s hard to 
find that much about it, since we?re right at the arrival of Vista right 
now. I?m wondering if anyone out there has a strategy for dealing with 
Vista? what products have you looked into, what have you opted to use, what 
are the contingencies for support on other operating systems? Currently 
we?re single sourcing in FrameMaker, exporting to PDF, and also to CHM by 
means of WebWorks Publisher ? which often leaves one feeling like the 
Sorcerer?s Apprentice, flipping pages while the water rises, and so we?re 
looking to replace it with something more consistent in its results. As I 
say, now?s the time.

Any suggestions? Thanks for the input.

Todd
