Current thinking on Windows Vista and E-Prime?

[Michiel Spape]

Hi,
Few people like Vista much and I think that is the main reason they are reluctant to running critical stuff on it. However, personally, I never had problems with running E-Prime on vista, although I did not make sure in any technical manner. If timing is your main concern, I would suggest running those timer tests from the E-Prime site, preferably on a pc that has both vista and winxp on it. Vista does include quite a number of tools to tweak all kinds of extra processes, but it will take a little time to get it right - I would urge not to just use your e-prime on a fresh install (for example, you do not want it to reboot during an experiment because of updates!), but then, that goes for xp too.
Cheers,
Mich

Earlier this year there were concerns about the reliability of E-Prime
under Vista (timing accuracy was one issue). What is the current
thinking on Vista and E-Prime. Is it still a combination to avoid?
