I booted my Vista install for the first time in ages. RC1 initialized and seemed to be working fine with my ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4300 card.
I did manage to make it crash when stress testing though - added all renderable elements, all satellites displayed, all with orbit lines (this is very heavy). FPS dropped down very low. When disabling satellites using the dialog I made it crash. Will try to re-produce on Linux with debugging on and investigate.
