Windows Vista compatibility

Now that FinalBuilder 5.5 is out, I've posted a short article detailing some of the things to keep in mind when using FB with Windows Vista and User Account Control (UAC.) 

On a more techy subject, most developers are probably already well and truly up to speed with Vista integration by now, but here are a few resources that I found invaluable while getting a grip on the concepts of UAC, manifests, elevation, virtualization, and the elevation prompt.

Happy Vista-ing!
