If you know anyone in China you can probably get a legal copy of vista
there for $3, which is what I've heard Microsoft are selling it for
there. (I think they are dead-scared of China having declared Linux the
national operating system.)
I don't know anybody who is taking up Windows Vista. All the people I
know have either made the move to Linux or remained with WindowsXP. Many
have even stayed with Windows98. It has been quite surprising to me as
there was a stampede among clubs and people I knew to get WindowsXP when
it first came out, but nothing like that has happened with Vista. I
wouldn't spend much time worrying about Vista unless it actually takes
off. Personally I spend my time oriented to Linux, having moved from
Windows some time back.

Hello,
I don't have vista to test either... Does anyone know how to get
cheap/free non pirated versions of Vista for pygame development?
I think it's likely a newer SDL will solve any problems you have. So
when the next pygame rc release comes out (probably in a week or so),
then try and get it tested on vista some how. Or try compiling pygame
yourself.

I know I'm arriving late to the party, but just as my current project was
nearing completion, I
got my first bug report on Windows Vista. I don't have access to Vista,
personally.
I did google the net for a few hours, including Pygame-Users archive, and the
pygame docs, but I
didn't find a definitive statement about pygame's compatibility under Vista.
I'm using Pygame 1.7.1 (windows binary installer) with Python 2.4. The bug
mentions 'display size
not found'. My game runs in 800x600x32, which is fairly standard. I'm wrapping
the app into a
setup.exe with inno.
I'm hoping to find out how to make my game work under Windows Vista.
