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.

Virtualization & Cloud Management Using Capacity Planning
Cloud computing makes use of virtualization - but cloud computing 
also focuses on allowing computing to be delivered as a service.
