Me and Vista...

No fancy images here just wanted to talk about how I'm finding Vista (home premium) since I installed it.

From what I can tell OpenGL was botched but updated video drivers (I'm using ATI) have seemed to do the trick for the most part. I use Modo 202 and Mudbox with no issue, they run as smoothly as they do on XP. Silo on the other hand is kind of choppy but still usable just slightly annoying. Messiah Studio won't run because the HASP drivers supplied aren't the Vista supported drivers so hopefully pmG is on the case. Blender didn't work at first, it was slow and unresponsive but after turning off the Vista GUI (I'm talking switching to 'classic' mode) it works like a charm. If you want the fancy pants Aero then dual boot with XP because all it does is make your desktop pretty and slow down your applications, it serves no real purpose for us just the average joe/jane internet surfer. I recommend using basic vista mode or just using the ol' faithful classic mode which still gives your your side bar for gadgets and things. All in all I enjoy vista and how easy it is to do tasks without having to reboot every two minutes and it's very stable, no crashes no issues for me yet *knock on wood* ...oh and yes, world of warcraft is totally vista compatible so don't worry! :P

Wee! Ahem...sorry. Well as you can tell this is my first blog entry at 4:13am so I don't have much else to say then I'm tired.

I've been learning Modo 202 lately so I made a little statue model to go along with our weekly challenge over at www.subdivisionmodeling.com posted by Glen so check that out...here's my 20 minute disasterpiece.
