Indeed. The people in core are not going to stand in the way of a good
patch that will fix a problem for windows. But neither are they going
to spend their own time debugging a platform they have no experience
with.
At the end of the day any problems with Vista are going to have to be
fixed by people with the OS, compiler, debugging expertise and time to
do it. The fact is that most people here don't have that. The same
criteria applies to every other platform.
So basically, anyone out there who meets the above criteria? Now is the
time to show it.
Have a nice day,
