HEY CAPPY!
A new Ventrilo version came out today, v3.0.0. You need to try it, maybe its Vista compatible!!!
I was all in favor of your promotion except on the other hand, I was THINKING about making Vent+mic a requirement for Captainship. Looks like Shank got to you before I got to Shank with that idea. Still, if we were gonna make an exception for anyone, we'd probably make it for you.
But norly, try the new Vent, if it is Vista-friendly then we are SERIOUSLY in business.
