I hope Adobe doesn’t force a move to Vista like they did to XP when Premiere went PRO
Really liked 2000
Hate XP (and Microsoft’s recent licensing nightmares)
Fear Vista (and Microsoft’s coming licensing nightmares)
Love OSX
Will bail out of the entire Production Suite Pro if Adobe forces the issue. Hope they provide an upgrade path to OSX in that case, but will NOT move to Vista whether Adobe
attempts to force me or not.Where do you guys / ladies stand?

I’m not sure what the problem is with XP…
I get my work done so I’m happy.
If Vista comes out as ragged as the first version of OSX (which forced me away from Macs so I could make a living), I suppose I might have to reconsider…

Maybe it’s just me ranting, but I took a project from Win2k/Premiere 6 and copied it to the computer running XP/PPro1. The computers were identical except the Win2k/Premiere6 PC had 256KB less RAM.
The XP/PPro1 computer took almost exactly twice as long to render the project as the Win2k/Premiere6 one (again, identical source files).
XP mostly works but doesn’t do anything especially well in my opinion. Each version since Win2k is slower, more bloated, and more resource hungry.
In essence, it takes but doesn’t give.
Rant over.

Eventually Adobe will require Vista. Of that I am confident. There will be something that allows them to take a shortcut.
However, there is one thing that could change that. And that would be if they try to make Mac and PC versions of the same product easier to write. Put all of the features into the app instead of using OS shortcuts. That would make it more OS independent and Vista would not be an issue.
But, in order to get the advantages of a 64 bit system, we are back to upgrading. Sigh.

On that last note … regarding 64 bit.
I understand the next release (maybe a “dot” release) of the suite will include 64 bit support.
Does anyone have any experience with the current release and dual core processors to know what the probable compatibality would be with the new quad core processors Intel is supposed to be coming out with by the end of the year?
i.e. — do the programs in the suite (Pro, Encore, Audition, Photoshop, Illustrator presently benefit from dual core and will they (as is) work with/run faster on quad cores? -
Toms Hardware has an article on the new quad chips from Intel.
I just picked up a Core Duo E6600 for my set up.https://www.tomshardware.com/2006/09/10/four_cores_on_the_rampage/

[Arlen Bell] “I understand the next release (maybe a “dot” release) of the suite will include 64 bit support.”
My guess is that Adobe will provide a 64 bit version of PPro as their brilliant solution to the horrific memory management issue. In other words, those of us who do large projects with large graphics will have to throw together new systems (maybe) with multi-GB of ram (a certainty). The mind boggles at the potential incompatabilities.
