[SDL] Developing a standalone EXE in VC++ with SDL - possible?

[Jesse P.]

Hi Steve,

Why are you using Vista ?

XP Pro SP2 with WindowBlinds 6.x is a better choice.

I tried Vista for few days and I hate it very much.
Its a TERRIBLE OS - looks pretty but terrible compatibility issues.

My advice is to go back to XP Pro...
