I have the same issue. Ctrl-Alt-Backspace worked fine when my primary is Vista and Secondary was XP.

well, the info i got back from support, was that they cannot yet do this in vista. so what you need to do, if your ina domain, is disable needing to use ctrl-alt-del to login, thats what i have done.

So...when will the CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE work with Vista Business primary and Vista Business secondary?

Timeline?

We believe we have a fix for ctrl-alt-backspace working on Vista and that should be in the next beta build.

Has that build come out that supports Vista Business as a primary and Vista Business as a secondary yet?

Here's the response I got.

Hello,

Unfortunately CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE will not function on Vista as it had on XP. This key combination was actually a workaround for XP systems. Because of the way Vista was developed, it makes this key combination impossible to implement.

I would suggest contacting corpsales@stardock.com for any future corporate sales and support.

Once the aftermath of WindowBlinds6 dies down look to Multiplicity and other updates. It's likely you will see them roll in fairly quickly.

That was the lead developer that had posted previously. I had not seen his response as you had and was not informed of this potential workaround in the next build. The word previously was that the C-A-B workaround was not possible on Vista.
