I (Torley Linden) started this page because we're getting a lot of questions about whether Second Life supports Windows Vista or not. Officially at this time (2007-03-20), not yet, hence why the System Requirements page says:
- NOTE: Second Life does NOT currently support Windows Vista
so we'll update it when we do support Vista. (I haven't personally used Vista.) In the meantime, here are some resources to ease the transition:
