    Running super fast and smooth on my Vista machine - one important fix for me is that Punkbuster games no longer kick you with a "program/driver" error.
    TallEmu fixed the Punkbuster incompatibility which is good news for any gamers out there.

    True memory and Resource use should be heaps lower. There was a long thread about it somewhere :)

    I'm not seeing any delays on startup - and the tests so far report lovely performance.

    The GUI is pretty much the same like shown at OA Webhelp for version 3.
    http://www.tallemu.com/webhelp3/CP.html

    This is after about 3 hours running and mainly playing UT3 online, but it's nearly the same after startup.

    Cold boot startup time till everything is loaded and till Explorer window opens up is 55 seconds on my PC with XP SP3, Avira Premium and OA.

    Cheers

    This is "overnight" picture. 3.5 is actually light on resources (I run Vista, OA AV+)

    Running very light here. No start-up lag, learning of banking mode is a dream.
    Lovely job!
    XP Home, SP3

    We began work on Vista when it made commercial sense for us to do so, given the resources at our disposal.

    From Feb 28th to March 30 2009, 75% of the visitors to our website are still using Windows XP. 20% of the visitors are on Vista - some proportion of them will be on 64bit. It's increasing , of course, which is why we now start to pay more attention on 64 bit and Windows 7.

    so 64bits build will wait for more percent (according to your "referent" site)?
    Win7? how much percent of your visitors uses beta build of that OS?

    Good, I hope they will reach magical border of 25% in some point in time... or less commercial sensed users will never have wait "longer" (till reach 25%) their beloved FW on their machines?

    Are you deliberately misquoting me? I've said twice now in the past 20 minutes that we're already looking at x64.
