I'm
so confused when I read this. I have a few XP discs that I don't think are
even good enough to use as coasters for my sodas anymore.
I don't want to
get to far off topic from the OPs question, but he seems to have gotten all
the answers he needs.
Walt, can you give me some specifics of where you
see your issues with Vista? What makes it such a steaming heap?
Indexed
search, live preview without opening documents, flip 3d with an free addon
called switcher (a dream for productivity), launching programs from the start
menu just by typing their name, not to mention the system monitoring tools
that the IT guys in my former company loved.
Vista was written to be 64bit
from the beginning. XP was modified to be 64 bit.
I have been using
Windows 7 for close to a year now, and it takes everything I like about Vista,
adds a little more, and makes it leaner and more productive. I can see no
reason that any Engineering firm shouldn't move to 7 about as fast as it comes
out.

The video ram resides on the vídeo card and
is addressed directly by the video processor.
The main processor does not address it directly.
It remains apart of its full address range (4GB).
So the main 32 bit processor can have its
4GB ram and the video processor can have another 4GB ( or more
?).
Like 2 different PCs in a network.
My brain is overheating, I have to pick a
beer!

point Sam. I should have said that as soon as Autodesk supports Win 7 that
engineering departments should upgrade. I do think that by the time Win 7 is
released, or very shortly there after, Autodesk will fully support Win 7. They
would be crazy not to.

No, that is very definitely not what you
said. You said:

primary OS, stop the madness.
There's a rather large difference
between the two, and if you'd have put it in those terms from the beginning,
we wouldn't be having this conversation.
As I said, I appreciate that you've pioneered the
move to the new OS for us all--I really do. Your endorsement has helped
me in my decision about when and how to make the move myself. I also
understand your enthusiasm for something you believe in. I do the same thing,
as this group well knows. But no matter whose fault the Vista debacle
was, it still happened. So I should curse Cannon too... great; but how
does that help me? No matter how you parse the blame, the fact remains
that those that did not get Vista sidestepped the problem altogether. It
was pretty funny when the most important piece of equipment on
my desk--sitting right next to that mega-expensive workstation the
company bought me--was my trusty old M90 laptop with XP loaded...so
I could print. I fully understand anyone who was not willing to find out
the hard way that their $200 upgrade to Vista comes with a surprise, non
negotiable $6000 printer replacement. It is not madness to
take a cautious attitude towards a move to Windows 7.
Unless Windows 7 support is something that
Autodesk can add to Inventor in a service pack or hotfix (maybe, but that's a
pretty large leap), we won't see an officially 7 safe version of Inventor
until next April. That tells me exactly when it will be sane for
mainstream Inventor users to consider a move to the new OS.
