For me iNav (V5R4 SI27741) runs OK on Vista. Better than it did on my

Personal experience only --

I don't run Vista yet, so I can't compare there. However, iNav runs on my 512MB/900MHz W2K Pro laptop in a third (and much better in numerous functions) of the time that it runs on my 2GB/2.2Ghz XP desktop system. I simply avoid using it on my desktops (I have a couple here) and run it on the laptop unless I absolutely need the explicit connection.

Given the incredible slowdown (in iNav and some other non-MS software) I've seen from a smaller, older, slower laptop with obsolete Windows to a bigger, new, faster desktop with more modern Windows, I've resisted going to the next level and jumping to Vista.

If speedup tips are available for iNav, I'd be more than happy to go another step.
