Open Source GIS and Vista

Issues with Vista will be popping up in our projects soon.

I recently upgraded to Windows Vista / IIS7, and found very little help on the internet regarding installing PostgreSQL / PostGIS, most 'help' consists of useless trolls and flame wars. Seems the open source community would rather fight each other than try to play nice with the new Microsoft OS platform.

Useless help? You mean like this -- why in the world would you want to run your RDBMS, Plone instance, or any other server application on Microsoft's defective-by-design multimedia appliance?

Latest and greatest Sean. You know how today's youth is. Heck most of them can't even remember a world without XP. For them Vista is their Woodstock.
