Oh no, another version of Windows.. Lots of 11 year-old innovations wrapped up in a new package. Oh Joy.
Try installing Linux. Linux supports java. Both KDE and gnome have long used features that are just new to Vista. A variety of tools that can be installed into the UI, including search engines, desktop applets etc. Best of all, it's free, openly supported by a community of developers and pretty safe from spyware. The games are not that bad either.. Good to play on the train. A range of IDE's are available, as well as the good ol' CFEclipse. The new 3D Desktop (XGL) is pretty impressive, though somewhat painful to setup. ColdFusion installs rather seamlessly, except in some versions (ubuntu) you may need to configure the system to run it at startup after the installation process. Best of all, you can get into ruby on rails and other "new" technologies without having to deal with all those odd windows issues. I only just got back into linux but am quite impressed so far.

It did - amazingly well too. However - at least with the beta - it is impossible to even install ColdFusion to see if it will work. Why? It seems, at least with the beta that Vista does not support Java. WTH I thought as Java is a very mature product (version 6 was only just released). So my question is will ColdFusion be supported on Windows Vista? When will it be supported and this Java issue only a beta issue or rectified in the final build? BTW I thought Vista was pretty cool - best version of Windows yet - very slick but might take a bit of getting used to. Am back on Scorpio Alpha 2 on XP now as I know that works well! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "cfaussie" group.
