SAS

Support for Microsoft Windows VistaTM
In conjunction with Microsoft's general availability of Windows Vista Operating System, SAS will be adding support for this operating system for the first time with release of SAS 9.2.
SAS 9.2 will support the following three Windows Vista editions (both 32-bit and x64 bit versions) that are targeted at the business market:

• Windows Vista Business


• Windows Vista Enterprise - available only to Microsoft Enterprise Agreement customers


• Windows Vista Ultimate

SAS 9.2 will NOT support the following two editions targeted at the consumer market:

• Windows Vista Home Premium


• Windows Vista Home Basic

SAS 9.2 will also support Internet Explorer 7, the default Web browser for Windows Vista.
SAS 9.1.3 does not support Windows Vista operating system.

Safari 3.0 with XP and Vista support

Safari 3.0 brings Safari to the Windows platform, running on both XP and Vista. In the keynote, Jobs highlighted Safari's quick performance, notably excluding results when compared to Opera... generally noted for it's lightning fast browsing. The Safari homepage, however, does include those stats. While the HTML performance shows Opera lagging (surprisingly) far behind, the Javascript and application launch benchmarks show Opera nearly on par with Safari... which makes me wonder why anyone would switch to Safari when a completely viable and feature-wise similar browser is already available - short of the fact that Apple will most definitely do a better job of marketing it. As is, Opera's market share is pretty small, but it's the browser a lot of Firefox users would switch to if Firefox somehow vanished off the face of the earth. But what would make us want to switch to Safari?Jobs also seemed to imply (if not flat out state) that Safari will eventually be bundled up with the iTunes/Quicktime download for Windows users in an attempt to infiltrate the Windows desktop. You can currently download the public beta unpackaged, but in the future you might have to download the whole 30mb installer including iTunes and Quicktime (the same way that you can't individually download either Quicktime or iTunes). I frankly hate this about iTunes/Quicktime, and if the same holds for Safari, it'll be a major turnoff.

Palm Desktop and HotSync Manager compatibility with Windows Vista

Palm Desktop versions 4.1.4e and 4.2 will install on Windows Vista and will synchronize Personal Information Manager (PIM) items including Calendar, Contacts, Tasks and Memos.
Other versions of Palm Desktop have not been tested with Windows Vista. You may be able to install and use other versions, but we cannot provide technical support for these installations.
Coming soon: Look for a beta release of the new Windows Vista-compatible Palm Desktop and HotSync Manager software this summer.
