Pixel View Xp drivers on Vista

Yesterday I tried installing my ancient ( circa 2003 ) Pixel VIew USB Pro Tv device ( Nt 1004+ ) to my newly installed Vista , first In installed the software provided with the TV devices , with much complain Vista installed it and as soon as i plugged in the USB and started Honestech PVr , it worked . Vista is not bad after all atleast backward compatibility is not issue in this case
