Problems with windows vista
Below is a list of known problems on Windows Vista. If you know of more issues specific to Vista, please let me know by posting some comments.
The Windows explorer in Vista has changed quite a bit, and one of those changes was to abandon the additional columns but introduce a new "property system". Since the property system is file type based, we can't add a column for Subversion information anymore.
The context menu may look wrong. That's because I use ownerdrawn menus. Since Vista changed the appearance of the context menu, it switches back to the 'old' look as soon as it detects an extension which uses ownerdrawn menus.
Exporting from a working copy only copies some empty folders.
This bug is due to a change in the SHFileOperation API. Since the API doesn't work the same anymore on Vista as it did on Win2k or XP, we've already used another way for exporting. If you're affected by this, you can try a nightly build.
UI rendering
There are some problems when resizing the dialogs. After resizing, black areas and artifacts of borders and other controls can still show over other controls. Minimizing and restoring the dialogs will get rid of those and the dialogs will show correctly again.
This has been fixed on trunk, you can use a nightly build if you like.
Version 1.4.2 has some problems with the explorer. Use version 1.4.3 which has this fixed.
very slow repository access.
If every access to the repository is very slow and sometimes even times out, even though everything is working ok from an XP machine, then you most likely hit a special problem in Vista with the TCP-Autotuning feature. To get rid of these problems, open a command prompt and type netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled. You can read more about these problems on the next publications

You're right...Windows Vista is full of problems...it's a crazy stuff...I'm thinking to change it into Xindows XP !
Yes windows vista is full of problems,and bugs just as all new releases of microsoft products are.Glad they do not build cars.
Microsoft will release a new operating system in 2010 code named windows 7.
I've been using a Dell XPS 410 w/Vista for 4 months. It's OK, but I'd rather use XP. Rather than configure a hd or partition for XP on this computer, I'll buy a biz machine outfitted w/XP. I wonder how many program Microsoft embedded in the software (through the back door). Those who buy units w/Vista apparently have to OK that Vista can delete or change any program at any time. The most annoying thing is the message popping up every minute saying that I blocked some startup programs. Sure I did...there's 200 more programs running here than I need.
Hi! I've used windows for many many years and finally got tired of problems. I switched over to iMac and now use Mac OSX operating system. I have been very happy since the change and I never have any problems anymore:-) No more constant rebooting of my system!
