I myself just got a new computer with Vista on it, and I haven't seen any problems with Magsbot so far.

Personally I think Vista sucks--but just try buying a new computer without it...not likely. However the problems with Vista are largely due to all the new security features, and to the lack of drivers for legacy devices, neither of which should be an issue with Magsbot.

BTW just for the record I find many of the things that are changed in Vista for the sake of appearances, make things more awkward...like the new Start menu with a small, scrolling area instead of the old fly-out menu where you could instantly see everything at once. (I know this has nothing to do with your question, and we are probably all doomed to accept Vista like it or not, unless we switch to Macs, but I just wanted to express my annoyance at Microsoft.)

Yep I have been running mags bot on it for a while with no issues now. I agree Vista is a pain, as is most MS, but what do you want from a marketing company? They have tried to make windows appear more like Linux or Even BSD (like a mac os) but it's only look, still the same old 16 bit win 3.** code that didn't work then. But I'm sure they fixed the buffer overflow problem they fixed in every other version of windows. Hey they got notepad right! oh wait they got that when they bought the rights for dos.
