We've been testing Windows Vista at Clemson. I am now running it on my laptop 100% of the time - a Thinkpad T60 with 1 GB RAM. Here is what I have working so far:
Office 2007
Netscape Composer 4.77
Firefox 2
Opera 9 (works best with WebCT - better than IE 7 or Firefox)
Eudora 6.2
Maple 10 (used Windows 2000 compatibility mode to install - but works well now)
Adaware SE 1.06
Spybot 1.4
WSFTP95
Technology Preview Novell Client (works well for drive mapping)
Adobe Contribute 3
Winsock 3270 Telnet for our mainframe
McAfee 8.5i
Most of the Thinkpad drivers
It automatically detected my HP printer that XP required a CD to see.
Wow - it's actually working really well! It's fun solving all of the little mysteries to get things working.
I asked our laptop support technicians to install on their desktops for practice and to learn. We had at least four students in with Vista computers yesterday! Our management is making a decision - they are leaning towards limited to no support - but I fear the students will make the decision...
