Well, we are still building and debugging managed stuff on XP, when there is
a need to debug on Vista I'm using the debugging tools for windows 'Windbg,
cdb etc...). Actually we don't have any desktop applications that need 2GB
of memory, so we target "X86", this:
1) to make sure that we run on the same CLR as XP,
2) that we don't waste any more memory than needed when running "MSIL" on
Vista 64, and
3) run the risk to get bitten by 64 bit interop issues.
For our *Server* style applications that need 4GB we target "x64" or
"IA64" and we qualify to run on W2K3 64 bit only, never on a desktop style
OS.

V1.0 and V1.1 application will run, it's VS2003 which is not supported.

What exactly do you mean with refuse to run, did you consider to run

first?
