Windows Vista Compatibility for Autodesk products
Hello all. I'm looking for some information on Windows Vista compatibility with Autodesk's products (namely Maya, Max and Combustion).
Currently, I'm using Windows XP, and would like to upgrade to Vista. I'm very confused with all the varying information about this topic on Google - no one seems to have an answer.
I work with Max 9, Maya 8, and Combustion 4. I also use AutoCAD 2007. I would like to know about the compatibility of these products before I switch to Windows Vista. Thanks in advance for the advice :)

Thank you for the advice Patrvic and Nick - I've tried running newer versions of the programs on Vista 32-bit and they seem to be fine. Still some issues while rendering, viewing objects in render modes and so forth. Guess it is more on count of not having approved video drivers for Vista. Guess we'll have to grin and bear this until Windows Vista becomes a mainstream OS :)

Having said that, I'd another question about Windows Vista - I've a PIV 4.3 GHz workstation with 4GB RAM, dual video cards, and plenty of storage. It has been a pretty good workhorse, and I use it primarily for video applications and 3D graphics. But they say that Vista would be far more efficient with Duo Core procs and above. I was wondering, if in this case, you would suggest that I upgrade my system to Vista... kindly advise...
