Is anyone attempting to use windows Windows Vista for imaging ? there are some interesting observations here http://www.itwriting.com/blog/?p=430 "Graphics 2D - Ouch! The most interesting result was the poor performance of the Graphics 2D tests on Vista. ..On both dual-boot (test) machines, the best Vista performance was an amazing 70% slower than XP. Put another way, XP was 3 times faster. Since these are common operations, that is worrying. with a link to M$'s site: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb173477.aspx which suggests all 2D rendering (ie, non gaming imaging) is now rendered quite differently to the way it has been on computers as we currently use them, being handled more as a 2D emulation via a 3D engine. weird.. karl
