VW and Vista -- any word on this???

We have a client on our backs because they want to get new machines
with Vista.

RE: VW and Vista -- any word on this???

I suggest you give it a whirl yourself without waiting for official
support. We'd done one quick and dirty run-through of our application on
Vista a while back and it seemed to work just fine. I suspect we would
do the same but with a little more time spent if we really needed to
deploy on Vista.

Cheers!

We tested our application - all of the things I have time to
test,worked. Most of my win32 calls also worked, however when I did
develop them I made sure they are supported in the vista. The word of
advise - we use few third party libs/ drivers, so if you use any of the
third party dlls(and we had to get latest driver from one vendor), You
would have to make sure that those also work on Vista.

We've done some limited testing on Vista, and haven't seen any
problems. That doesn't mean we offer full support for Vista yet; we
will be supporting Vista following this release

And what are you saying about it?? Use it? Run Vista and XP so you can
switch??
Very interesting this came up. About 5min ago I got a request for
Gemstone server
on VMware, not something we have worked with at all -- any comments on
VMware??

RE: VW and Vista -- any word on this???

We've recently switched to VMWare-hosted VMs exclusively on all servers
with the exception of SQL Server, which still runs and will continue to
run on dedicated hardware. Loving it so far. Most testing and fooling
around is also done in VMs now either by creating new ones on the ESX
server or just running them inside the Workstation,

Cheers!

and that actually reminds me that I'm contemplating moving to Win 64 in
order to support some of my music endeavors but I was wondering whether I
would be able to run VW there well enough
