pro or anti is irrelevant - since doze is not open source, we cant do anything about defects. So why waste our time complaining about it? If you have paid for vista and cant compile something this list is not the place to complain ...
It is clearly a matter of concern if free software like firefox, openoffice, GIMP, inkscape, blender etc are compiled for Vista, and if they don't take full advantage of the system due to restriction of the OS. User's will assume that free software works less efficiently, without understanding that the cause is due to their digital restrictions management. Let us remember that most of free software today is inter operable, except of course the kernel Linux.
agreed - so what can this list do about it? Especialy as probably vista was designed with this idea in mind. As i said originally - dont worry, just migrate to linux.
