   XNA and Vista basic
  Hi there,I want to play around with XNA. I also want to play around with Vista.  I don't need the overkill Aero interface, so I want to get the cheaper Home Basic edition.Can anybody tell me for sure if I could install XNA on Vista Basic edition?Or, would I be better going for the Business edition? I dont understand MS marketing speak. I;m told XNA isn't supported on Vista just yet, but google turned out lots of stuff to the contrary.   
  XNA runs fine on vista, thats what I'm using at home to play around with it.  I have "Vista Home Premium Edition", but I am pretty sure it will work on Home Basic too.Alan   ;  It should work fine.   ;  Yeah it runs fine. Why would you think it wouldn't? There is nothing removed from Vista basic except Aero Glass and the ability to watch DVD movies (but VLC fixes that). XNA didn't run on Vista at first, but it was patched soon after.You're best bet is to stop listening to other people about Vista. 95% of the stuff about Vista is untrue and not based on reality.   ;  on the notebook i'm typing on i'm currently running vista basic, and xna, and it works great. no problems here (though, i don't have an xbox360, so i can't comment on that part, but it should be no problem eighter).but i'll switch soon to ultimate here, as soon as my real notebook arives.. glass sure _is_ nice, if you get used to it :)but i'm impressed with basic. for all the bashing it got, it's quite fine. still, i'd suggest anyone to get at least home premium (or business), it's just more modern, giving you a better overall feeling while using it :)but else, yes, xna runs great on it :)   ;Quote:95% of the stuff about Vista is untrue and not based on reality.A big portion is also people complaining about stuff that was true during the newer beta releases, but not anymore. Vista isn't perfect, but they are still working on it at least. Everyone has to blame someone else - easier to do it to the big companies. ;)   ;  You need to download the XNA freshresh to get Vista compatiblity and make sure you install VC# express and SP1 and Vista update for it too.
