Introducing TAP Manager


In our development of x64, we've learned some things about the way Vista works. We've come out with a new version of our software, XeroBank Setup, which is now versioned by production date, 2.8.6.28. This now includes key software information, such as versioning, right in the description. What does that mean? You can now see which component versions of xB Browser or xB VPN are in the installer.

But that's nothing. With Vista, we managed to fix the startup/shutdown problem, and also accomplished a way to may OpenVPN portable for x64, and capable of installing kernel level drivers without being run in administrative mode, which is quite an interesting feat. What does this mean? We now have x64 installations that run as smooth as silk, while making x86 installations very robust. I think more x86 driver testing is needed, as are code signatures for the installations.

Kyle is solving some interesting challenges in the xB Machine build environment, but these things always require more testing. We hope to see xB Machine for the XB2 network any moment.
