I just installed Vista Ultumiate on a spare disk on mew fairly new Atholon X2 4200. All went very well. Out of the box it found all of my hardware, didn't need to add any driver for printer, WiFi, GB Ethernet, Graphics Card that I did need for XP. The only hardware it missed was Microsoft Hardware (Bluetooth Keyboard and Mouse).

Install all layered software and all work ok so far except I need new versions SQL Express, MS Bluetooth Keyboard/Mouse.

Now for the hard part - DNN.  The old instruction had:

• Turn off simple file sharing  (How in Vista)
• Share for web (read/wriet/execute code) (How in Vista)
• In inetmgr config virtual dir to point to DNN install
• Make sure Default.aspx is doc type and ASP2.0 is selected (How in Vista)

• Give IIS full control of directory (Now Network Services in IIS 6-7)

The Vista designers sure moved a lot around and changed the UI too much. Anybody have an update on how we run a localhost IIS setup on Vista that might address the above details?

PS I just discovered that FCKeditor's spell checker (iespell) wasn't installed when I spell checked this post. On Vista the instal just loops installing it and then saying it isn't installed. Worked on in IE7 on XP.
