AS 6 to AS 10

[Anonymous]

Due to the death of my XP machine I was forced to downgrade to Windows 7.  Obviously my beloved, faithful and (arguably) best copy of AS6 will not install on the Home Version of W7.  Before I pull the trigger on AS10, does anyone know if the XP mode found in the Professional version of W7 is a viable workaround?  I am dreading going to AS10 because I have AS6 purring along rather smoothly on a small Acer netbook for light field work.

If I do have to switch to AS10, is there any quirks I should know about?  I mean except for the proclaimed death of Autosketch by Ric Norris? 🙂  ( glad to see Rick and Harvey still kicking around these parts)

Thx,

Scott

Not sure if this helps any....I run AS9 (which preceeded Win7 and Vista) on Win7 without using compatibility mode. Had to do a few things (e.g. "run as administrator")   AS10 I would guess is even better; it was made to run on Vista.

PS:  I made the switch from AS6 to AS9 hardly noticing the change, i.e. did not have to "relearn"  The one change I noticed was a god one.....ability to do fixed widths on wider lines.....I can't believe they previously put out as product where the only choice was those pixel based line widths.   And from what I hear, the changes to AS10 were small and good.

Thanks for the reply Fred.  It's good to know that the learning curve from 6 to 10 should be small.
