With quite a few techies having access to Vista RTM one way or another (I mean Technet/MSDN/Volume Licensing), what's the official word on VS10+ support with Vista x86/x64? When I install VS10+ on my Vista x64, Vista complained of incompatibilities but VS10+ works fine as far as I can tell anyway. But will Ulead support such configuration?

Or is that an official patch forth coming in the near future to fix all potential incompatibilities? Or is Ulead just going to come out with VS11?

The last post I read from H.T. Chien, is that Ulead is actively working on a Vista compatible version, that will be released when or soon after Vista. I believe he called it VS10 Vista. So the current release does not support Vista. That's why you are having the problems with it.

Since you want to run a beta version of an OS, you can expect to have a fair amount of headaches, and hair loss.

Yes, UVS 10 Vista will be released after Windows Vista is been officially released.

Ouch.... Does that mean we will have to pay for another upgrade

And for Vista being Beta.... Depends on how you look at it. Some of us consider RTM/Gold being the finished problem. But then, some people will only consider SP2 of any OS be the somewhat finished product and everything else is beta.......

And I am on RTM. So don't know if you consider that beta or not...... MS doesn't.....

How long after will be my next question. Vista will be released to VL customers on Nov30 with a business launch on Dec15...... So after which date? Or do you mean the retail release which is Jan30,2007? Or do you rather mean SP1 which is 2008?

It will not be Vista SP1 in 2008, I'm sure.

I'm also using Vista RTM (build 6000) now, but Microsoft might have some changes in Vista Home/Ultimate.

The changes will be via Windows Update/Microsoft Update, not on the RTM images themselves.

Until it ships in retail packaging and I can buy it at Fry's or CompUSA, it isn't a finished product.

Has anyone tried it on Vista 32 bit? I haven't upgraded my VISTA machine since RC1 and haven't bothered to try VS on it as I've been busy testing my other business applications and my own custom code first as I require it day to day.

This slip of the keyboard is very telling. I hope this isn't prophetic.
