ronster 0 Posted March 1, 2007 ANYONE KNOW WHEN THEY WILL BE VISTA COMPATABLE? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rory 0 Posted March 1, 2007 Probably never, not unless they strip it right down so it works like XP. MS is not going to drop XP anytime soon, they realize they cannot. Vista is just too slow, its geared for home users due to all the nice graphics and themes, which DVR users do not need. It requires expensive hardware to have any usable speed, and unless Geo was to make 2 separate versions, or one version for both XP and Vista, they would loose too many clients since most of their clients cannot afford a Fast Vista machine. Also, Geo would have to update its installer, which is a very old version of Install Shield, 3.0 to be exact, back from the windows 95 days. Not to mention they code in C++, so they would have to rewrite everything in C# or similar. So basically I doubt it, either MS will just keep updating XP as they plan to, with SP3 out in 2008. Or MS will make a new version based off of XP, since Vista is just not the same, IMO. If Vista was all we were left with, I would be forced to switch to Linux.
