According to Ed Mandelson's WP5 site, some version must, because
after warning every WP5 user not to touch Vssta with a bargepole,
he says that if they're so ill-advised or unfortunate as to try,
they'll have to use Tame (version unspecified), because WP5
crawls on Vista.
But--if my experience (and we certainly need more data) is
typical, and jerky cursor is not evident on Xy windowed under
Vista, why would one need Tame? From all I have seen here, it's a
cure worse than the disease and more trouble than it's worth.
When I last asked (sometime before I got my own Vista PC in Oct.
07), Kinko's was not running Vista. Does anyone know of any
public access sites that do? Anyone have a friend, colleague,
relative, client who is? Because it would be a great help if
anyone who did would create a portable Xy setup on a flash drive
and test. ASFAIK, Robert is the only other person on this list
with Vista, and he's using that box as a server--and anyway runs
full-screen, where jerky cursor isn't an issue. Thinking as I do
that hardware affects the whole jerky cursor issue, I'm certainly
not going to take one box's results as definitive.
