The fact (if it is a fact) that a problem manifests itself only on
Vista does not necessarily mean there's no bug in Emacs, especially
since the variety of different systems on which Emacs is routinely
tested is so small.  Some positive evidence is required to deduce that
the bug is in the underlying OS.  Do you have such an evidence?
