 Hi Michael,

 I think that Vista is the key. I build and test WinGRASS on XP, so I
 cannot figure out how does it run on Vista. This links to an issue I
 already pointed out in the list: it's a fact that any professionist or
 scientist who works on Windows actually still uses xp or 2000, but the
 future is on Vista, since new machines (specially notebooks) seem to not
 work with xp, due to unreleased libraries for xp to manage new HD
 architectures. Should we start to think to build on both Vista and XP, and
 thus release two versions of WinGRASS? I think that, at least, we need to
 intensively test on Vista.
