Having run into so many windows versions upgrade problems working on both flight sim and xplane over the past 10 years I highly suggest that any vista issues be IGNORED until at least 20 % of the population actually has it AND the first vista patch has been issued by microsoft.
It's just a programmed plan of obsolence by microsoft that drains development from other issues. I have a strange feeling that the recent privacy intrusions regarding unauthorized computer version checking and reporting to microsoft in recent windows xp "patches" and the daunting vista hardware requirements and they widespread availability of free "try it without installing it" linux boot cdroms will actually prompt a large number of people to finally switch to linux at long last. Interestingly new releases of flight simualtor since dos 5.5 have actually been one of the primary motivators for people to upgrade their computer systems. Might I suggest making flightgear work well on linux might actually do the same for linux? But first priority should be to make flightgear work well on the systems out now.
