Vista development

By Andrey Zarudnev | July 18th, 2008 | 1:03 pm

We are planning to release Vista compatible version in Q3 this year, so the Beta version will probably be available in September. Please do not forget to subscribe to Beta RSS feed in order to do not miss an announcement.

For now we are open to any suggestions for this major new release, as usual :)

    Is it really needed under Vista? Readyboost seems to work fine :)

    eBoostr technology is different than ReadyBoost.
    We support more device types.
    We support all files rather than executables.
    Overall performance of eBoostr can be higher than Readyboost.
    eBoostr can coexist with Vista SuperFetch improving it’s characteristics.

    September? It already works just fine in Vista if you make the setup program think its running in XP. I think you could release a version sooner where the Setup program allows its installation on the Vista OS.

    Zero3K, it has many incompatibilities on Vista 64 bit version including inability to install and run our unsigned driver.

    Makes sense then for the Vista ready version to be available in September.

    Why can I cache more than 1gb of ram? I have 8gb and should be safe to use 4gb.

    Louie, please note that 4GB is the maximum RAM cache size.

    We have added several features that were planned to this release. Another month of hard coding gave us some incredible features and speed improvements :)
