David, So despite Midtier being written in Java, a language that's operating system independent, BMC feel it won't work on VIsta?
I'd assume that simply running the Midtier 'test suite' - something that should take ten minutes through the build files - would demonstrate it works on Visa (or XP, Solaris, or Linux, or Win2k, etc.). Surely the 'target use' (client/server) for an operating system is quite independent of the JVM that's probably identical whether it's running on XP, Win2k or Vista. I guess this means Remedy developers who (quite correctly) run a local Midtier for development, will be unable to develop on the most modern Microsoft operating system? The most useful step forward for BMC is to rewrite the WUT in Java so it will operate on all platforms, regardless of operating system or architecture.
