Vista and AE
Seeing black Friday is coming up and it appears to be some good sales on laptops. I was thinking of getting one. I was wondering how Vista is behaving with AE.. I may get AE after Christmas for myself and i know squat about vista. Any problems with yours bacause i heard Vista is having issues with some programs?

My laptop is a first release Vista. IOWs, bought it the first day they became available. Worked flawlessly from day one with the AE.
EDIT, too bad about them Bills Dan. WTH happened to them? GO TITANS!!!!!

No Vista issues with AE here either. I do have the occasional operator error, but I can't blame that on Vista or AE.
FYI. If you don't like the idea of Vista, you can still order a laptop with XP on it.

What's the diff as far as AE goes? The bottleneck is with the AE software/hardware working with the OBD port more so than Vista IIANM, right? 64 bit would not improve a signal that I believe is already slower than what the machine can easily support X 1,000. If I am wrong, please school me.
Any 32/64 bit Bill Gates type questions might need to be directed to the AE web site support. Those folks know the ins and outs of their product.

Curtis, are those Macs that seamless now? I have always been sold on that system, just the apps were so far behind. The day may be coming for me. It is a far superior system with so much less vendor support. Microsoft seems to have succeeded where Sony failed with the BetaMax. Too bad they did it by stealing software.

After having this computer for a few months, I actually prefer running Leopard over Windows. But I like having Vista on hand for the ability to run programs that maybe aren't available for Mac, such as Autoenginuity.
Years ago I used to repair computers, and I hated Macs. They had all sorts of quirks and issues. Today's Macs are totally different. Apple has really come a long way, and in my opinion is leaps and bounds ahead of everyone else. I'm a huge Apple fan now with my laptop, iPhone, and iPod

My computer crashed last week. Blew the dust out and it is up and running now.
So hey, bottom line, you can run AE on a MAC with an emulator no problem. Get some.

Black Friday is day after Thanksgiving. Big sales in all the stores, people in line at 2:00 a.m. (or earlier 
) for a 7:00 a.m. opening, etc. etc. etc.
Called "Black Friday" because these sales, and this season, get the stores out of red ink and into black...

Thanks for you input. I could order xp or just buy and load myself. But i think i want to move to vista to stay current with the times. I just heard some software don't like vista and has caused head acres. Folks wanting to go back to XP.. etc. I am just looking at all these different opererating system with Vista. Home Basic,Home premuim, etc.. There is alot of different loads.. XP was Home and Professional installs. It seems Vista there is more.. I was looking at a laptop i liked but said vista basic home idition sp1. Then i wondered about it working with AE and i should ask you guys first. Thanks
Bills are Pathedic... 1st to last.. Monday's game was great. 3 interceptions in the first quarter? Dang it.. Anyone looking to be a quarterback? Maybe the bills will hire you. Quarterbacks is what the bills have been struggling with the last bunch of years.
