Vista considerations to think about..

Hey everyone, here is a good article regarding Vista and permission. It's worth a look:

The most important thing that I learned was that the Program Files folder won't let you spawn files inside of it (from an exe at least). So if you try to put your save game files in your game folder, users on Vista without admin permissions won't be able to save their games. Yarks!

Must... not... laugh...

Good thing the platformX86UNIX code has an implementation of the best way to deal with this situation :-)
