Re: Window Vista compatibility

I'm about to spend $3500 of my own money on a new computer and I'd like to know whether or not I need to stick with XP. Please, I need an answer to my question.

Subject: Window Vista compatibility

I'm not sure I understand where VW stands on being Windows Vista compatible. Does it run or not? I'm curious about VW 7.4 in particular and very early versions of VW like VW 2.5.

Re: Window Vista compatibility

We will support Vista with the next release of Cincom Smalltalk after
the one coming out in March (i.e., after VW 7.5 and OST 7.1.2)

If you don't have a good reason for Vista, why not stick with XP and
stay on the safe side? If you're replacing an existing computer, you may
be able to transfer your XP license to the new one and have the choice
later on without having to pay extra for Vista upgrade down the road.

Just a thought,

-Boris

Re: Window Vista compatibility

In reply to this post by Charles Adams

I don't know that anyone at Cincom has already tried older versions on
Vista, or even how many of us have it installed.

But one thing some of us are looking into is using VMWare on dual-core
machines to run multiple OS's. On my HP laptop running XP, I want to add
a linux and a Vista image. I'd also add Mac OSX for intel if Apple will
change their licensing to allow it to run on non-Apple hardware.

Hi,
Support is one thing, with all of the official related stuff, but are you
sure VW will not work on Vista already? Someone known of problems running on
it?

Ciao

RE: Window Vista compatibility

As I had mentioned to Charles or 7.4.1 based runtime started up and passed a 1 minute smoke test on Vista. That's the extent of our experimentation.

VirtualBox does not yet support any 64-bit operating systems, so it
would not be able to test our VMs on Vista or any 64-bit unix variants.
