Hopefully there’s someone here who can give a better answer. ---

I have been using GLFW in windows vista in small graphic apps without problems. (window management + user input, no threads). Even thought, if you encounter any problems or face some of the reported ones that I could not reproduce, please, report it. I would be happy to try to fix them and contribute at least with one line of code to my favorite OpenGL framework. 🙂 ---

( Mingw + GLFW 2.6 ) ---

It has been working really great. One of my testers runs vista, and he’s not reporting any problems either.
