* *Well, you don't need to know anything about Vista. I've already laid out the facts, several times. Fact is, only one version of Vista has MSRs that are equal to Poser 8, but in terms of RAM only, and require a more powerful processor than the 700 MHz listed by SM. The other Vista versions have MSRs that are equal to Poser 8's recommendations, but exceed the MSR.
So I'm asking, how can they list an operating system as supported when the operating system itself has higher specs than what they call minimum in a PC for Poser?
Not saying they shouldn't list Vista as supported, not at all. Rather, they should up their MSR.

Exactly what part of "I don't know anything about Vista" are you having trouble with? I can't answer the question intelligently because I don't know the subject. May I suggest you direct your question to Ratscloset or Steve Cooper from SM?

And I'm not giving you A hard time. Poser currently lists both MSR and recommendations. YOU just don't like the way they do it. I can't help that, and neither can they. Perhaps it's another question you could direct to Mr. Cooper.
