You don’t need Vista to view Da Vinci
Can’t remember which paper it was in, but there was a piece this morning saying that Bill Gates is a big old baddie because if you want to see the British Library’s digitisation of his Leonardo Da Vinci notebook, you need to spend at least £100 on Vista. Not true: the app runs on XP too, although you’ll need to install the .NET 3.0 framework. It’s the same tech I wrote about the other week.
