Vista compatibility?

[Cody Carey]

When I had vista installed on my computer, I went through the works with FIRST software, Autodesk 11 installed and ran fine... although it was pretty laggy (probably due to the system specs). Mplab works fine, as well as the ifi loader, although I haven't been able to test the usb -> serial drivers. didn't get to check vb 2005 before I took vista off...

This was all on a pretty old 2.0 Ghz pentium 4 with a gig of ram.

I'd like to note that Vista is a brand-spankin'-new operating system, and as with all new things; it needs a couple months to be debugged. It isn't 'till millions of people start to quality control test an OS that a lot of the problems come out of the works. Back when XP came out, people were comparing it to 98 and asking why they needed to upgrade. After all, as of the release of XP, it only hogged more resources and wasn't compatible with DOS, right? For a while, XP will get you where you need to go... but you might want to hang on to your copy of Vista for when the world starts to phase XP out. Give it time, it will get better.
