Solved. Re: [sldev] Sandbox viewer not working on Vista

[Able Whitman]

Actually, the problem Dzonatas found is unrelated to the Orcas release of
VS.

Neither VS7.1 nor VS8 are fundamentally incompatible with Vista; you can use
either one under Vista to build and debug projects, and the executables you
produce will run just fine on any supported target platform. The
incompatibilities that exist between Vista and VS7.1 / VS8 are related to
Vista's UAC features and how they interact with VS's debugging facilities
and software deployment (like One-Click, etc.). This is why MS released a
Vista compatibility update for VS8, to help work around those problems.

And none of this stuff is really related to the "trusted media path" stuff
that's baked into the Vista kernel; that stuff comes into play when you're
dealing with DRM/HDCP/etc. protected media.

The purpose of the Orcas release is to bake the "Vista compatibility" fixes
into VS without needing a service pack, and to support new technologies that
ship with v3.0 of the .NET framework, like Avalon / WPF and Indigo / WCF (or
whatever they're called nowadays).
