Xilinx's ISE 9.2 now supports Windows Vista (32-bit only.) Do other tools like (Mentor Modelsim and Xilinx XPS/EDK) run under Windows Vista?

I bought a laptop with Microsoft Vista Home, installed Modelsim PE 6.3a , and ran without problem. -- Regards, John Retta Owner and Designer Retta Technical Consulting Inc. email : jretta@rtc-inc.com web : www.rtc-inc.com "Helpme" <helpme@nowhere.net> wrote in message news:eUbJi.28321$eY.3105@newssvr13.news.prodigy.net... > Xilinx's ISE 9.2 now supports Windows Vista (32-bit only.) > > Do other tools like (Mentor Modelsim and Xilinx XPS/EDK) run under Windows > Vista? >

Personally, my order of preference is Solaris, Linux, HP-UX, Windows. You can't have it all. Solaris SPARC has poor price/performance these days. Solaris x86/64 isn't very well supported. Linux, well, google for 'OOM kiler' and decide for yourself if you prefer unconditional stability or a bit of speed. Does anyone use Windows for serious simulation? (I ask that as a developer that's worked on field-solver based parasitic extraction and mixed signal simulation). A bientot Paul (Not speaking for Mentor Graphics)
