Which of these sub-groups is best for exchanging info on application
compatibility? I would have thought that there ought to be enough interest in
how existing software behaves on Vista to justify a separate group just for
that...
So far the early things I wanted to try (cygwin - certainly at least until I
had ssh/scp available) and mingw to give me a development environment with
autoconf/make/gcc etc. Vista appears to break cygwin. For mingw Vista-32
lets me install and launch rxvt, but then gcc will not admit to having any
input files. On viata64 I got a cascade of terminal screens without appearent
end and could not get started.
Firefox and winscp3 seem OK. ez-antivirus installs but I get 2 security
questions each time I reboot about its system tray stub.
Do others think that collecting application compatibility is useful and
deserves a special place here? What applications have others succeeded or
failed with?
