Where are people getting the idea you need a "powerful" machine to run slimserver? From what I have seen, slimserver will run on some pretty slow, antiquated equipment. I think what really drives a lot of this..........is our impatience. If rescan takes 2 minutes longer than we think it should....it is the bloated software's fault. How easily we forget the days of dialup and slow, slow, slow computers.Remember the boot up, go get coffee, eat breakfast, and then just maybe you might be able to use the computer days?
As to Vista and slimserver not working together well.I am sure they will get that worked out. There are LOTS of programs and hardware that do not play nice with Vista. I spent a whole day upgrading a new laptop to Vista. Got all done........only to find out my printer wouldn't work with Vista and that HP might have the driver out by JULY!! Personally, I like Vista. Let's remember Vista was not on the supported OS list when most of us bought our Squeezebox. At the time we bought it functioned according to the stated system requirements. Just because Microsoft foists another OS on the world doesn't mean slim devices must hurry up and make everything compatible. Perhaps it is in their best interest to do so.........but it may not be a #1 priority. I have slimerver on an XP system. I want to upgrade it to Vista but I am waiting until Vista is more mature and slimserver is more Vista friendly. -- brucegrr ------------------------------------------------------------------------ brucegrr's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3964 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=35492 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
