I am also in the same boat, got a new laptop with Vista Professional OS.

The following is a good link Windows Vista no longer starts after you install an earlier version of the Windows operating system in a dual-boot configuration

Thanks
Some research on this indicates that the support is available on VISTA:

http://sas2themax.com/blogs/owner/archive/2007/01/08/How-to-install-SAS-under-Windows-Vista.aspx
http://support.sas.com/techsup/pcn/vista.html

http://kb.wisc.edu/helpdesk/page.php?id=5175

Any inputs on this?? Did anyone get a chance to install these softwares on VISTA and check??

Looks like SAS 9.1.3 supports Vista. But what about SPSS. Also the institute should be having the latest version of these softwares.
If we were to do a dual boot, is there any one who can through light on how to perform.

Thanks

Congratulate to all the current batch students and great job i must say!

I am sure the new batch will go ahead and take Great Lakes to next level.

@ UKM -

I know I should wait till the PR is out on the glakes sites but just itching to know a few things

1. What were the max and min salaries offered for each of the work ex break ups (<2 years, 2 - 4 years, >4 years)

2. For people with with their prev avg salaries close to 8L - 9L, who opted for the career turnarounds, what was the jump in the salaries?

3. For people with with their prev avg salaries close to 8L - 9L, who did NOT opt for the career shifts, what was the jump in the salaries?

4. How is the CTC figure arrived at? With all the 'junior' emails floating, it is important that everybody has insights into the how the avg CTC is calculated. I understand posting it on a public forum might be breach of confidential practices, but at least do let us know during some of the gyan transfer sessions / in PMs

5. Do the companies tend to discount / assign lesser importance to previous workex if one opts to change streams?

spss is not a problem.....
sas is a problem...


Dude Kris- Looks like even SAS 9.1.3 cant be run on vista home / home premium.

I found this @ SAS Support for Microsoft Windows Vista

"SAS 9.1.3 SP4 does NOT support the editions targeted at the consumer market. These editions include Windows Vista Home Premium and Windows Vista Home Basic"

Did I miss sumthng? Or are you running one of the Vista Biz editions?

Did some analysis and it appears that SAS does work on VISTA:
https://helpdesk.uts.sc.edu/vista/test.asp
As for running in dual mode.. i see that XP and Vista on same machine creates lot of problems.. just do a google and check.
So what should be our plan? Any plans of how we can change the OS?? Any good contacts for this?

One quick clarification I had was in terms of international placements. In the previous years, there were some international placements offered. What is the deal on this front? How does it work? Just trying to understand.

I got the following link suggesting that patches are available for SAS/SPSS for Vista.
ADCS Statistical Software Helpline

I think we should try these instead of installing XP on Vista as it is very risky and laptop can crash fully:new_ukliam2:

UKM,
Thank you very much for the report... I do have some of the queries as mentioned in earlier posts by fellow prospectors... I have full faith that all of them would be cleared one by one.

Thank you very much once again. U people have just rocked. The exp. wise breakup was really cool...
