I've been stealth posting betas for the die hards
And us die hards have been stealthy in tracking them, usually without issue.
;)
dgk gsf and another colleague are working almost full time on uwin
picking off /var/log/uwin errors daily
with the intention of getting clean install and logs for 32-bit xp/vi/w7
and then moving to 64-bit
I've been noticing the frequency of the betas; I've been quite happily
impressed with their progression (well, up until this issue...). I've also
been glad to see the docs updates trickling in. :)
m$ has tightened permission checks on a lot of operations that used to
work in xp
most of these are seen in vista, some filter back to xp
many of the changes are either undocumented or in the fine print
the most frustrating part is that two seemingly identical windows
configurations
can produce wildly different behavior
Yeah, I've noted some differences between XP and Vista, but much less than I
would have anticipated. UWIN's been quite stable for me on every machine,
and that's a good thing. Of the "big three" POSIXy environments for Windows,
you can't say it about all of them. (One's only updated about once per
release [Interix]; the other's known for "issues" [Cygwin].)
I'll start announcing beta on uwin-developers
and we can move the bleeding edge discussions there
Should we move this thread there, as well?
