Vista Tutorial - Symantec pcAnywhere

Has anyone tried pcAnywhere 12 on Vista? I know 11.5 doesn't like Vista and
before I trot off for the upgrade I'd be grateful for any feedback.

Unfortunatly, I can't switch easily to another package as I have quite a few
PC's running PCA hosts.

You can download pcAnywhere 12 beta and give it a try:

Thanks for the info Alexander - The beta you mentioned expired last April so
I need to rely on someone who has attempted an install of the retail
version.

Yes it does. It is not supported and Vista will let you know that it is not
but it will as I am using it. The HOST part doesn't work. Symantec is suppose
to be releasing a beta version soon for Vista.
