* Glad you like C4D R6 (chuckle), but that's sort of like sticking by that old Ford-T while on the highway with minimum speed limite of 55 mph.  R7 was a big jump, R8 is about three big jumps, R9 is about ten or more big jumps, R10 is about thirty jumps ahead of R6.  To list the features and improvements that you are missing would require a book.

*That's the thing..... I'm not missing those features at all. Besides when it comes to speed, C4D R6 is lightning fast. I've got TrueSpace 6.6 also (which is much more up to date) and it still can't beat C4D R6 when it comes to speed and features. I've looked at R10 and for what I use R6 I wouldn't even know what to do with the new features.

And there is one reason why you will be upgrading to Vista (or its successor) at some stage - you will no longer be able to run newer software that will be written solely 64-bit. 

I can't do that at the moment either, still use a 32bit machine. Also most software I do own suits me very well, I don't care about the latest game or running the newest 3D Studio Max or MS Office. So it's very unlikely I will update to any 64bit application for a long time.

Due to the childish TOS changes, I'm not allowed to link to my other products outside of Rendo anymore :(

Food for thought.....
