Hello Warren,

I occasionally test Spectrum Lab under Linux / Ubuntu / Kubuntu and the 
like. The only thing which doesn't work properly is opening the help 
system (when opened from the main menu), but the DSP and spectrum 
displays work suprisingly stable.
Never tried SL under Vista (and won't use that "OS" in the foreseeable 
future), but others reported SL works with it as long as a standard 
soundcard is used for input.

Cheers,
  Wolf DL4YHF .
