RE: Vista Trail of Tears - WDSC Update -- MIDRANGE-L

No, it's worst the Organic Chemistry Lab where we had to make our own
equipment but some fool has got to try and show the Ivory Tower people that
they should not hide their heads in the sand when the competition is
bringing out a new product and it is fun.

Will try v7 next week. I was able to get the emulation side iSeries Access
to work even though the official IBM notes say that they won't support Home
Premium Edition.

I have some movement in the Garden of Eden because last week the RPU would
not work at all. So maybe there is some penetration even if it is only so
slight.

Perhaps a little late to respond with this, but I don't think V6 has support
for Vista - as per this

"Note: No support currently is planned for Rational version 6.x products."

found in the page at
http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21250765

And

"This announcement serves to identify that IBMR RationalR products currently
do not support MicrosoftR WindowsR Vista."

This was as of last December.

But check out this link:

Maybe you've been there - good luck! You must really love the bleeding edge!

Good news - someone at IBM had their ears up and have taken some action 
with the WDSC Upgrade processor.  Today when I made my daily attempt to 
run the RPU, I was informed that a fix would be loaded. When that was 
complete it found the current upgrades and has begun to load them to V6 
on my Home Premium Vista machine.



Now as we all know, that might take "some time" but its great to see 
that it can get that far. I guess all wounds can be healed given time.

P.S. I have turned off the UAC in Vista.
