What reason could there possibly be for getting Vista at your work? Other than to cause catastrophic failure. I’ve been using Vista since Beta 1 release and I honestly would not recommend it to a business place until some of the quirks get sorted out. As a Visual Studio Developer, the only issues I had, was getting SQL 2005 to work on the 64bit edition (which adds another bit of complexity all on its own) was forced to use the CTP version, but they are sorting out most of the problems I’ve encountered so far (at least from what I’ve seen in the I think November 06 release)

At least now you Windows guys have something in common with the Linux hippies

to assist in making sure the next version of our product runs fine, and looks right, on Vista.

I'm all for increased security but I don't except to have to choose between security and usability. Obviously there are exceptions to every rule but in general I shouldn't be forced to make such a choice.

Hey Chris! How's that new car? I'm driving it right now. After I replaced the water pump, installed an oil filter and oil, fought with the wiring to the engine, added that fourth tire, tweaked the steering so it will turn left AND right, it's been fine. ... Would YOU buy and use a car that like? No? Then why the heck would you use software that way? I'm just sayin ... doesn't seem right folks. Maybe that's just me. :rolleyes:

Nope - it ain't just you. I dunno about anyone else but I'm sitting this one out for awhile - maybe a GOOD while. As long as XP Pro will support my development tools then that's what I'll use; period. -CB :cool: A landing is a controlled midair collision between an aircraft and a celestial body.

So, other than a poor user experience, corrupted settings, and a complete re-install it's good!?
someone has to find these things and report them so that you can complain about them and they can get fixed before you ever attempt it. :) That is why they call it the bleeding edge....

Bad Astronomy |VCF|wxWidgets|WTLI agree completely. All I see on technical forums is talk of how Vista is simply not ready to be released - they're just releasing it because there's already been too much delay. Stuff like this just confirms that assertion.
