I am running on a dual quad-core system. That's clearly a bug in Vista rather than in Emacs, so there's nothing for us to fix. A good fix for you would be to upgrade to a Free operating system.

The fact (if it is a fact) that a problem manifests itself only on Vista does not necessarily mean there's no bug in Emacs, especially since the variety of different systems on which Emacs is routinely tested is so small. Some positive evidence is required to deduce that the bug is in the underlying OS. Do you have such an evidence? ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 10+ messages in thread

Please re-read what I wrote: I also said that this doesn't necessarily mean there's no bug in Emacs. And when I wrote about some positive evidence that the bug is in the OS, I really meant to say ``the bug is ONLY in the OS''.

Indeed. But he described a bug in Vista, which happens to appear to be triggered by something in Emacs. Since we don't know what is that thing in Emacs that triggers the bug, we can't even decide if it's itself a bug or not. We have plenty of real confirmed bugs not to worry about this one until Vista gets fixed. And I already mentioned a good "fix". Stefan ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 10+ messages in thread
