Trying MSF 3 beta on vista, no can do

Off the top of my head, and without any testing, I'd say that is caused by Vista's Address Space Layout Randomisation (ASLR) feature causing issues when the Cygwin environment tries to do a fork(). If you haven't heard of ASLR, it's a method to randomise .exe and loaded dll's layout in memory to prevent arbitrary code execution from working reliably. If you add Framework3\bin\ruby.exe to ASLR's exception list, I believe you will not encounter this problem. YMMV, please let the list know how you go. -Rhys
