[Numpy-discussion] Vista installer?

[Carl Trachte]

For the case in question, having the student set up his or her personal
computer to work for the class (dual boot/Ubuntu) would probably be fine.
Long term, though, I don't think Vista can be written off as a supported
platform.  If you're forced by your system admin to use it in a work
environment AND you need Numpy, ignoring it isn't the answer.
I'm not complaining (It would take me longer than Vista's commercial life to
shoehorn a solution to this problem myself).  I am however following this
thread to see how it plays out.  This way I can at least start planning
ahead in the work environment (I DO have FreeBSD, Ubuntu, and Windows XP
installed on my home computers).
My 2 cents.
