Vista warning

[Richard Bernabe]

For PC users, thinking of upgrading to Vista?

A warning from Chromix:

“Due to Vista’s non-handling and mishandling of graphics card
calibration curves it is next to impossible for a professional user to
be confident that their system is properly calibrated and displaying
color correctly. For this reason I do not recommend Vista for
professional workflows at this time. When Microsoft addresses the
calibration-clobbering bug in a future service pack then I think Vista
will make an effective platform for high quality color production.”

You could just save yourself a lot of grief and get a Mac! Its what Vista is trying to be anyway. It will probably be 6 months before the bugs are worked out of Vista. I use both platforms but if I had to pick one it would be the Mac for any imaging application except maybe printing. The only thing we use Windows for is our servers and our EFI Color RIP. Vista looks cool but you will probably have to do a bunch of upgrades or buy a new pc if you want all the cool features.

Hearing about all these problems with Vista really makes me glad that I just made the switch to the other side.

Good to know, I just got a new HP a couple months back, and it comes with the free revate for vista, but i didn’t want to upgrade yet due to the quarks in the system.

Let’s give Vista its due for a moment and call it a given that we have achieved Vista-OS X Tiger parity.

[Carter Simcoe]

this might be a dumb question but we’re gonna have to pay for the OS X leopard if we want it right?

[Zach Matthews]

Yeah we have to pay.

cool, i figured as much but couldn’t find a straight answer on apple’s web page.
