Ever since I got my new Vista PC @ 2.13 GHz (Core2Duo), SheepShaver runs OS 8.6 faster than my 480MHz Power Mac 6100/G3..... LOL. I use SheepShaver for the bulk of my Photoshop 6.x work now.... it's GREAT....... except for the times when I need use of the Option key..... I really, REALLY wish there was a way to disable the Windows key on Vista/XP while running SheepShaver.
Is there anybody actively working on this issue (at least)?
You know the sad thing about sheepshaver is....

The windows start menu poping up those get in the way, but I am glad that the function of the option key works fine. How stable is sheepshaver running for you on Vista compared to Windows XP? I am running on Windows XP and have noticed some problems. After certain amounts of time I loose mouse and keybord input, no way to save your work and restart. Also if I leave sheapshaver open for a few hours and come back to it, it usually crashes...
It's essentially the same experience compared to old WinXP. Even if you use SheepShaver in Vista, those "loss-of-input" bugs still exist. I go away for half an hour with SS running either in the foreground (OR background ).......... and when I come back, it refuses me to input any commands, be it the keyboard or the mouse.... nothing works and then i have to force-quit the damn thing....... "CTRL-SHIFT-ESC" now, however.... lol.
