alrobin Posted May 19, 2006 Report Share Posted May 19, 2006 Good news, Igor! We knew you could do it! Looking forward to all the new features and enhanced capabilities! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LumenLux Posted May 19, 2006 Report Share Posted May 19, 2006 Thank you Brian for the link and Igor for the info. I understand that Igor is focused on making sure Version 5 will work with Vista. Just to clarify - Is it correct that Vista will not "enable" any features or advantages of PTE Version 5 that will not be available in Windows XP?

Ken Cox Posted May 19, 2006 Report Share Posted May 19, 2006 a quote from another newsgroup i sub to"http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/press/2006/may06/05-18GetReadyPR.mspx>>And run the Upgrade Advisor utility:>http://www.microsoft.com/windowsvista/getready/default.mspxThe upgrade advisor is itself only a beta therefore don't expect too much.For me it recommends Windows Vista Home Basic before I select what features interest me most so I select the features & click Next at the bottom of the loooooooooooooong screen & it appears nothing happens but if one scrolls back to the top of the long screen then they'll see "Upgrade Advisor is now checking......." & that's as far as I got. You'd think after 30 min it could decide. FWIW my screen is at 1280x1024 so if it's long for me I can only image how long a scroll it'll be for some others. IMHO they ought to have a popup that says now checking that disappears when it's finished checking & the popup should NOT popup until I've made my choices."ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Igor Posted May 20, 2006 Report Share Posted May 20, 2006 Robert,We don't use specific functions of Windows Vista. So no difference.The benefit that people will use Windows Vista. As you know Vista uses graphical card for new graphical interface (with shadows, translucency, etc) and it gives the next benefits for us:- New model of drivers for video cards with potentially better reliability.- Maximal attention of Microsoft to quality of video cards and drivers for them.- All Vista ready PCs are perfectly intended for PicturesToExe 5- Much more fast video cards in laptops (requirement of Microsoft).
