That is a sign!

OK, serious. There is a problem with cross platform validation. There are a lot of threads already, e.g: 5705.

Then i have to stop getting wus for Einstein. I will not get credits (although I am not doing this for credit but anyone would like to see getting credits for doing something good).

There might be a misunderstanding here:

There is no particular validation problem with VISTA. There is a validation problem between the Windows app (used under all Windows variants) on the one hand and all other apps (Darwin, Linux, BSD???) on the other hand.

Therefore , everybody is potentially affected by this problem.

The problem is that sometimes (not always, in 5-10 % of the cases), validating WUs crunched under different platforms will fail.

So, I see no particular reason for Vista owners to leave the project, in fact, Windows users are least affected by this problem, as they are most likely to be paired for validation with a matching OS host, as close to 90 % of all host of E@H are running under Win.

Well, I disallow my Vista

Well, I disallow my Vista machine getting new wus for awhile. It will focus on the other projects. If I do not remember wrong, my two or three wus in a row could not get credits, so my machine will rest for awhile.
