I knew WinVNC was lower on the list of priorities but I thought it was higher than I am hearing.  I understand the reasoning as it is a big task and is not as high on my list of priorities as the other parts of this project.  If you are only removing the MSVC support from the trunk and not WinVNC itself, I will look into porting over some of the W7 support from TightVNC as merging things like that together are more my expertise than encoder performance tuning.  I also would not want to loose the TLS support that TightVNC still lacks. 

I am not saying that this will happen too soon as I am in the middle of a big project but I will see if I can submit some patches for better W7 support when I get a chance.  I prefer XP for it's simplicity too but I know I will have to deal with W7 more in the future. 

I want to give you guys some props on the new viewer and performance increases.  After trying DRC's latest build, the Windows 1.2 viewer is usable again and very fast.  It is even tolerably usable with TLS on which is something that was a big problem on refresh updates with terminal based apps like VIM before.  With TLS off, I am getting almost native performance.  Great work guys!

Well, it works on XP, which is my favourite Windows version :-) (I was actually able to buy a brand new laptop with XP this autumn, and I have recently upgraded my HTPC from Vista to XP as well.)


As you pointed out, the modifications required
to make it work on modern Windows platforms are fairly extensive.

I think the best approach would be to migrate W7 support from TightVNC, but someone needs to do the work, and I'm not very interested in this either.
