A1: Blackbox depends on a certain environment that is specific to Linux/UNIX machines, such as certain libraries and the XWindowSystem. It is possible to use ported variants of X and those libraries and run Blackbox on top of them under Vista, but integration with the Vista desktop environment would be far from perfect. A2: There are certain projects that are very similar to Blackbox and work with Microsoft Windows. Please visit their websites and see whether they provide Vista-ready versions. If they do, those projects will provide a much better user experience.
