No it wasn't released other than in a beta which is what I have been running. So if you bought a gateway with Vista on it 2 months ago you got ripped off it is either Beta 2 ,RC 1 or RC 2.

Hi,

I am running Vista with Aero on a P3 933MHz machine and Limewire Pro does run on this. Connections are slow to start, but if you wait long enough they do complete (up to 30 mins).

Vista RTM has been available since at least Dec and maybe as earlier as Nov to MSDN subscribers.

Rick

It was released as RTM for developers not for resale no machines have been sold with Vista on the until a couple of days ago. Vista has been Available to MSDN subscribers as a beta not retail for a long time. Which I am a MSDN subscriber. And LimeWire 4.13 is not compatible with Aero and will disable it. I have been running LimeWire with Vista RC1 for months now and have no major problems with it. I did purchase the retail version of Ultimate and am currently running Ultimate x64 and will be installing 4.13 Pro shortly if there is a problem I will work with zab and the other developers to try and help figure out where the problem is.

I just installed LimeWire Pro 4.13.0 on Windows Vista Ultimate x64. I first tried installing by just clicking on the installer and it hung on installing Java.

I then went to the Java site and downloaded Java 6 x64 version and again tried installing LimeWire once again the LimeWire installer tried to install Java and hung.

I then went back to the Java site and installed Java 6 JRE (32 bit) using the offline installer. I then tried installing LimeWire it installed without any Problems.

When I started LimeWire it showed a firewall in front of the globe and only connected to 2 host. I then checked the windows firewall and made sure it was allowed in the exceptions which it was.

I then configured my router for both port forwarding and upnp forwarding the globe disappeared and I got a turbo connection. I then did a search for a large file and started Downloading a file 200 MB file within 2 minutes I had 10 connections and I am currently downloading the file at 150 KB/s 50% done in 7 minutes so LimeWire works fine with Vista.
