Windows Vista

[Clever, Max]

Thanks Jeff,

I think one of the biggest selling points of mapserver has been its
capability to work across a wide variety of platforms.  I'm just hoping
Windows Vista doesn't throw a wrench in it.

Hi Max,

We haven't thought that far ahead honestly.  But we are planning on 
releasing a Windows installer version of MS4W.  It's also good to see 
that the OSGeo Foundation is discussing various distribution packages, 
so that may impact MS4W in the future.
