That said, most of my applications and drivers work fine in Vista, even in the pre-RC1 (build 5536) version - and I use my computer as a digital audio workstation and gaming machine on top of being a media server. The only items I am having trouble with right now is Slim Server 6.5b1 (really missing the 770 skin!) and my m-audio Firewire 410 soundcard (no available drivers from m-audio). I'm liking Vista a lot, and expect to be using the release candidates as my primary OS until it's official release. I'm surprised at how snappy even 5536 feels. +---+ |Filename: Vista_Reason_1.jpg | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1630| +---+ -- EnochLight EnochLight's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3392 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=26958 ___ beta mailing list beta@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/beta

Just my personal view :-) I digress; 6.5 has been in alpha/pre-beta for an eternity it seems and with the impending release of Vista to the masses very soon, it only makes sense to start testing the two together now. There's a good number of users of Slim Devices products that are early adopters - I think most of us who beta/alpha test are clear examples. It's not unreasonable to push for compatibility between the two at this stage in the game. 6.3.1 works fine on Vista, so it's reasonable to assume that it shouldn't be too difficult to kickstart 6.5 - which is scheduled for release around the time that the Transporter comes out. For any/all Slim Devices peeps out there, Vista will be on my machine at this point so if you need me to test any Slim Server builds geared towards it, let me know!

Sheesh - I take the point but how much pain do you really need in one life? You take a beta release of one product and run it on a beta of an OS from Microsoft (which most sane manufacturers would term an alpha) and, surprisingly enough, it doesn't work! Vista probably won't hit the streets until January by which time 6.5 will be a full, stable release with (most likely) a whole slew of bug fixes already under its belt. That's probably the point to start running SlimServer on Vista. I have no doubt that SlimServer will work under Vista but this does seem a little premature and I, for one, would prefer development resources to remain focused on the here and now. Just my personal view :-) -- Jungle They say that laughter is the best medicine but, if you're an asthmatic, ventolin is probably a better bet.
