CS3 runs on Vista, however some plug-ins will not operate properly. I have Vista installed in a dual boot system. Vista has so many problems that no one should assume it is capable of being a real world OS. YOu have been warned. The "wow" factor Microsoft uses in its TV ads is short for "wow, this really stinks!"
Here is my biggest problem using Vista for Photoshop:
The Spyder II has Vista compatible drivers. So does the Moncaco Optix but those drivers will not work at all in my Vista installation and Monaco was of no help at all with support.
My wide panel LCD monitor calibrates perfectly under XP using the Spyder but I am unable to calibrate the same monitor starting with the same monitor settings at all under Vista. Is the problem the Vista Nivida video driver, the Vista Spyder driver/program, Vista itself?
Who cares? Unlike Monaco at least the Spyder technical support is trying to assist, but it would have been better if the programs and drivers simply worked before they were released.
A curse on all their houses.
Avoid Vista until Microsoft totally reshoes this lame horse.
You posted this same diatribe in the Vista ng. Yet you fail to give any details about which plug-ins won’t work. Then you rage on about not having the correct driver for running a calibrated color system. And you state…"avoid Vista until Microsoft totally reshoes this lame horse". So you think MS should provide the correct drivers for all of your 3rd part apps that don’t work under Vista?
That’s simply unbelievable anyone with even one weeks experience on any computer would be that…stupid or gullible.
BTW, PS CS3 and all of my plug-ins work perfectly under Vista Ultimate x32 & x64.
