Vista and DFU tools? DFU not needed on Vista?

I just uploaded an SP firmware to my TP player and so got the white screen.
No biggie, i just had to download the DFU tools again as I just got a new computer

to my surprise the DFU tools were not needed at all to fix the problem! Vista automatically recognized the player as a DFU server and gave the option to scan for suitable software...after like 10 secs its was done and all i had to do was restart the player.... not a DFU tool used!

Unbelievably awesome!

One more reason to ignore those annoying Mac ads.

Same on my laptop, when my M6 crashed Vista recognized it as a DFU server (while pressing Play and M continuously) and restored it without DFU tools ^^

great to get a confirmation of that
I wasn't sure if it actually was Vita or just the DFU tools that got activated automatically by Vista

Seems like Vista is smarter than i though...

Maybe this should be stickied?

the same worked with my vista .. so it really seems to work without dfu tools now
Even though I'm not that convinced of vista, this is certainly a argument for vista.

I have Vista and it's not working for me. I tried to do the firmware update and im getting a green screen with stating 'No Resource!' 'Please upgrade resource again'. When i plug in my player i get the "Found New Hardware" window. I click "Locate and install driver software" it then asks for a disk, which i don't have with me, i then click "Check for a solution". I finally get "Windows was unable to install your MiniPlayer"

going offtopic a bit... i agree Vista doesnt seem to have many direct benefits over XP
Vista is slower than XP for example
it does look nicer but that just eyecandy which isnt even that special

what i do appreciate a lot about Vista is Readyboost... speed up your computer(significantly) by simply plugging in a USB stick!
