Actually 'anything better' is where the issue falls down. Can Vista be regarded as 'better'?...can 64bit [when either/both can be problematic with MANY programs, not just one?
Food for thought....
Yes, Vista is very much better than the previous versions of Windows. Yes, Microsoft changed some things that developers have to deal with, but the problem lies with the third party developers, not with the OS. In some cases, the original software "cheated" the OS by not following the rules, so to speak. It other cases the developers are just lazy or are working on other projects and can't be bothered with upgrading. In most cases, though, it's just a matter of learning what needs to be changed, and changing it.
By the way, "better" in this case of system requirements is simply a numbering system, not a value judgement. Like in Blackjack, "jacks or better" means cards with the ranking of jack or higher, it doesn't mean kings are "better" than jacks.
I'm currently waiting for fully working versions of RightClick and ObjectDock for Vista 64. In my opinion, StarDock is too focused on the game side of things to even bother with utilities anymore. And if that really is the case, it's sad.
