I have to agree  -  we've experienced oddities with custom data views with TMS on Vista - data views that work fine on xp....we're on windows servers and haven't noticed slower performance.

I would avoid Vista if possible; there are certainly no advantages to using it.

Hi all,

The Getty is upgrading Getty staff computers to Windows Vista, and during our testing with TMS we noticed that response times are markedly slower than they are now -- general navigation in the system and running queries appears to be a bit sluggish.  I have heard that Vista in general is markedly slower than previous versions of Windows, but I wonder if there are any of you out there who have made this change already and can confirm or deny?

And if you're running TMS on Oracle, could you mention that as well?

Many thanks,

Brenda
