I use D7 on Vista. It took a while to find out that it has to be run as administrator to work. Otherwise, Vista won't let programs rename files as they run, which is what D7 does when you create a new form from within the IDE.
Generally speaking, Vista truly sucks more than any other OS I have used in the last 35 years with the possible exception of OS360. If you still have an XP machine, that would be a better place to run D7. Also, expect to find absolutely no software drivers worth a hoot for your printer, scanner, fax and so on. Vista is pretty good at email though. Outlook only crashes a few times per month.

With shiny new Vista Business. Alas, when I try to install my grubby old Delphi 7 it complains that there known compatibility issues. Of course it neglects to tell me just exactly what those issues are, or indeed how I should overcome them. The (Code Gear, Inprise, Borland) Delphi web site is suitably opaque, and I cannot find a solution. Does anyone on this list use D7 on Vista? Can you tell me what I need to do?
