    Forgetting GPU (assume it is OFF), are there Vegas 12 Pro users running smoothly on Windows 8?
    I read that Windows 7 and 8 have the same core internals and that 8 added that crappy UI downgrade.

    That about sums it up quite nicely! 😉

    Vegas Pro 12.0 should run fine on Windows 8. Some people claim the UI seems a bit faster but if you disable the Aero UI in Windows 7 then you’ll probably get a similar experiences since this is pretty much what Windows 8 did.

    lol 😀

    I only say this because I had to test Vegas Pro 12.0 on Windows 8 to test that our VASST plug-ins worked correctly and everything seemed to work fine. I was running Windows 8 in a virtual machine using VMware Workstation (where I do all of my software testing) and it was a smooth experience. Had I not just built my Windows 7 workstation a few months prior to Windows 8 coming out I may have tried it but the thought of re-registering all of my software will all of their draconian copy protection schemes was just too much to even think about.

    May the force be with you.
