Cairo testing selections have gone out.

For reference, we are requiring a Windows Vista environment and a confirmation email within 5 days to preserve your spot.

Thanks,

Cairo Team

    why are you requiring windows vista, it runs on xp…right?!?

    No, it does not support Windows XP at this time. The Cairo Team might consider writing Cairo for Windows XP after releasing the version of Cairo for Windows Vista, but I said might consider. They might not.

    XP support will follow once the Vista release is complete.

    I hate Vista! It just like Windows Me and will soon be forgotten! I thought it is just for Xp. A little disappointed.

    Windows Vista is not Windows ME. That is just the popular opinion floating around the internet, and as we all know, popular opinion doesn’t mean right opinion.

    Windows Vista = Windows ME? Who says that? Windows ME is merely a touched up version of Windows 98. By many considered the buggies, most unstable version of Windows ever.

    I apologize for a dumb question but how do I get on the list to at least have the chance to be selected? -For this and maybe the next ones?

    I sent in my application, and was the one who pointed out your site issues (directory listings and such). I am not sure if I had this on the application, but I do have Vista Ultimate, and am a software developer, as well as have been a BETA tester for other projects. I do think that it would show your appreciation for my pointing out your site security issues by granting me access to the BETA.

    I received it but the email went straight to my spam and I forgot to move to my inbox before erasing my spam box so I never got the chance to reply back. Can you send it to me again please. Thanks.
