Hi Dianne I have been testing with the PE environment before moving to live. The version 10.1 would not run properly with vista, I could not access telnet and the rpc was not robust. I download 10.2 and this seems to be working with no problem. The administrator and other U2 eclipse tools are not compatible with the vista graphics and vista downgrades graphics to run these. Otherwise performance wise it seems OK. Vista does like memory, performance is average at 1G memory but good at 2G.
Some VB6 applications do not work in Vista and if you use VS2005 you need to install an additional service pack after service pack 1 and run it in administration mode. (SQL Server 2005 also needs a special service pack.) As Vista does not have administrator user as you would have had in XP, you need to initialise the administrator user in the control panel>users as this was often used to set up as the root users for universe and has the SQL authorisations. There is an option in the application properties to run an application in administration mode (for compatibility issues) and you may need to do this for any apps that are not performing well. VPN is an issue particularly if a site uses CISCO PIX firewalls. Microsoft no longer accepts MS CHAP 1 authentication, only MS CHAP 2. Some firewalls do not handle MS CHAP 2 and this has caused issues. The alternative option is to run virtual pc with windows xp or server 2003. With 2GB memory this works fine and is great for demoing server applications like sharepoint. I am able to access VPN from the Virtual PC to sites that the host vista does not allow. Otherwise after a few weeks of hair pulling it seems to be performing well.
