Anyway, I just wanted to know, now I know... I never bothered you Gfk in my posts as Evamp, so... why the 'bugger off'
live with it, or use a different OS
^^^that.
Allow me to elaborate. I've spent the best part of a week, on and off, trying to get this sorted out for the benefit of everyone.
The comment you made, to me, seemed to dismiss the whole thing as a non-issue. While for people who are currently developing games, its an issue of high importance, as anybody who gets a new PC from PC World or wherever from now until God knows when, is likely going to have Vista on it.
Its therefore imperative that our games work - if they don't, we'll likely spend the rest of our days answering one support email after another and not getting any more dev work done. Which is why I've been busting my ass trying to make sense of Vista's over-enthusiastic security. It needs doing. It isn't a case of "use another OS if you don't like it". Two years from now most people will be using Vista. It MUST be supported, as awkward as it is.
