OK - thought I'd share my experience since upgrading to 2015 on my Win7 64 bit machine.
2014 worked great... no problems at all but we decided to install the 2015 upgrade. Everything worked fine for a few weeks and even after Service Pack 1. This week, I have a lag problem with my cursor. Seems to be jumpy and Autocad in general is just slower. I haven't installed anything new nor changed any settings in my setup.
Autocad 2014 still works great - no lag problem at all.
Online research showed that maybe the Aero Windows Theme could be a problem. So I went to the Basic 7 theme and my 2015 cursor is working fine again - no lag problem.
Seriously? I get an upgrade to the "better" version of Autocad and lag problems.
Thinking I may just shelve 2015 and go back to using 2014.

Did you have a question, or did you just want to complain? The Aero theme issue has been an issue pretty much since it existed; nothing new.
A) Take a 5-year old computer, run AutoCAD 2000i on it. Run AutoCAD 2008 on the same computer. Newer version will not perform as well.
B) Not all problems have solutions. While most of us are used to the old "... just make it look right..." procedure when doing drawings in AutoCAD, that doesn't work everywhere.
Hello
I am 57 years old (too much old maybe !?) and I am running ALL my Win Seven PCs (32 and 64 bits) with a Win 2000 / Win XP Pro "Look/Desk" !
NO problem at all and all my ACAD/MAP/LT/AA/MEP/CIVIL 201X versions are running fast ... and many other programs TOO ...
Is Aero necessary to your day to day work with ACAD ??
Patrice BRAUD
Hello
YES Mr Pendean !
But for somebody where day to day use of ACAD (or any other Software) is important ... Is Aero more important, if Aero (Even Sometimes) is THE problem !
Patrice BRAUD
you guys are cracking me up.... thanks for the laugh.
No, the Aero theme isn't that important to me and I've gone back to Windows Basic Theme . . . so, life is great now.
Thanks for looking out for me guys - I really appreciate it. ha~ha!
Hello
I like very much ... mental health/reduction of stress is important ...
