Hi Casey, It should work just fine on Vista right out of the box. Vista already supports DirectX 8, 9, and 10 for C++ applications so no matter which version of those I chose Vista would be cool. The difference here is for games using .Net the managed components needs installed, and why games fail under .Net. As for C++ itself the os itself is written in C++, and all the core libraries are for C++. The Win32 API
is litterally the Windows core, and the API might be upgraded but is backwards compatible with Windows XP and 2000. Else apps would be breaking like mad between Windows versions. It is important to note apps like MS Word is a Win32 application. Since the Win32 API is backwards compatible you can install Word 2000 to Vista and run it successfully even though MS doesn't recommend it. Casey wrote: > I think this sounds good.
