FLI are the Rolls Royce of imaging cameras. They also dropped their price for the ML8300 to match Apogee their main competitor.
But you will need a filter wheel and filters on top of it plus an autoguiding solution so the cost stacks up. But they are the best as far as the straight camera goes.

I considered the ML8300 (wouldn't mind one as well) but went with the PL16803 instead and as far as loading software goes, I have Windows Vista on my lappie and today I downloaded the FLI setup kit from the FLI web site (one click) unzipped it all (one click), went upstairs and pluged everything in ie PL16803 with CFW-5-7 & Atlas focuser connected to the ProLine body and it all worked perfectly first time, everything talking to everything else in both FLIGrab, FLIFocus and Astroart4

So I wouldn't worry about software issues and the like, and even if there were any FLI would come to the rescue for sure
