Once again, I am seeing mixed reviews on this topic. I'm considering getting Vista Ultimate -- but still I hesitate.
I've been told by someone that the clean install which many 'authorities' recommend really isn't such a good idea. I've heard that a clean install can actually cause more problems with your software than it solves -- not to mention giving you a huge headache if you've got a lot of stuff which will need re-installing. Like I do.
At the moment, one of the major points which has kept me away from installing Vista was its incompatiblity with AutoCAD 2007. However -- the AutoCAD 2008 disk just arrived in the mail a couple of days ago. So.........now.......maybe............
And then there's the question of going with 64-bit vs. 32-bit. I have several programs which would benefit from 64-bit. Like Lightwave, AutoCAD, Vue, and a few others. But it's my understanding that some things simply won't run under 64-bit. So I dunno......I'll need to invesitgate further.
