I am doing beta testing with windows vista, and am running boinc under it. I have not seen any problems (yet) and was wondering if anyone else was doingthe same thing.

Been running here for about week stable no errors. I don't use the screen saver. Just seems to use a little more memory.

I have been on version 5384 for 2 weeks now. BOINC manager (5.4.9) loaded with out an issue in the XP upgrade process that i did. I have had 2 updates from Microsoft this week 6-12>16-06 that required a reboot. after the reboot I saw that several of my projects did not reappear in the tasks List. They are still listed in my projects list (21 projects) but no longer show any work to be done. Most prominent is the CPDN, BBC and Sesonal projects. These have such long run times that they have not finished on this PC and were only about 10% done at the time of the first reboot.
Crunching for SCIENCE not CREDITS.

I installed Vista Beta 2 on an empty disk, installed Boinc and then replaced the Boinc directory by the one from the original disk. The only difference I see is that upon starting Boinc, it takes much longer before the Boinc manager connects to the client.

Been using BOINC with Vista B2 5384 and have experienced on 2 ocassions after a unknown network fault, that all tasks are marked as complete (some with zero CPU time). Boinc is unable to contact project host (red message. BTW is there any way to recover the message log?).
Both times I needed to re-install BOINC 5.4.9 after rebooting to get the network working again (LAN behind a router that works for other systems)

Another problem: I cannot log in on the World Community Grid site with Vista + IE7.
