It's already been mentioned about the false information concerning OpenGL support  in Vista, so I'll not repeat what has already been said. Just another false rumour concerning Vista...one of many.

As for it not being true about apps not being supported in other OS's - well, this is a Poser forum and I do believe Poser is supported in OSX.
Want modelling in OSX - Modo, Maya, Blender, C4D etc, etc
Want scene creation in OSX - Vue, Bryce and Terragen etc, etc.
Want modelling in Linux - C4D, Maya, Blender etc, etc
Want scene modelling in Linux - hey, it's lacking, but I bet 90% of people who use Vue or Bryce wouldn't be interested in Linux anyway.

I think there's is plenty of choice and the facts speak for themselves...and I've not mentioned half of the 3D and 2D apps available on multiple platforms.

As I say, nobody is making people choose to use windows, the hardware and software is there for people to use if they wish to change...the only problem is that people find it easier to find fault in something than actually get off their arses and change what they find bad. Nobody has to put up with Vista...it's your choice.

If you have to buy a new PC with Vista on and don't like Vista, then install Linux. Don't like Linux, well buy a Mac - you can then put on it whatever you like.
