Brian,

You have miss point.
    Jochen did run Director and V4MD on XP.
    then he have build projector
    and try run compiled projector on vista. -- WORKS.

I.e. You MUST for now develop seating on XP.
But RESULT which you will deploy DO WORK on Vista.

So we do consider this as show stopper.
XP will be yet long time in game.

And on my PC I have HDD with 4 sections:
    XP1
    XP2
    Vista
    Linux.

So I can restart into any of this OS and do job there.
