He didn't say Mid-Tier doesn't work on Vista, what he's saying that it is not a supported configuration. Mid-Tier is currently working fine on an XP system, also not supported. Saying that developers will be "unable" to develop on Vista doesn't make sense at all and is most likely not true.
A WUT in Java would be nice (would that become a JUT then?) but I don't see how that's connected to the supported or unsupported nature of the server components. Even if everything was written in Java you'd still want to have a "supported platforms" list. Hugo On 2/16/07, John Baker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
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.
