One of the biggest inconveniences involved with upgrading to Windows Vista is all of the potential software and hardware incompatibilities that may pop up once you are ready to go. As with software drivers, there will also be programs that simply just won't work.
Over at the Snapstream blog there is a piece which brings to light the specific state that Beyond TV is in with regards to Windows Vista.
The current version of Beyond TV (4.5) is not fully compatible with Vista, but if you hold on, version 4.6 is scheduled to ship "very soon now". This new version will contain a wide variety of bug fixes which will make it fully compatible with Windows Vista.
So if you are a Beyond TV user who is thinking about switching to Vista, make sure you wait for this upgrade to save yourself some hassle. It's good to know that something is in the works.
1. Why use Beyond TV when you have the Vista Media Center? Every program and piece of hardware worked for me so far. I had to install one driver actually for my Motu 896 audio device. Vista is really impressing me with the faster menus and smooth looks. There are thousands of little changes I'm noticing as I stroll around the OS too. It couldn't be better.
