Ok Folks,

After much tooing and frowing, i decided to give Vista a little go. I have to say I like the UI and it seems to be a bells and whistles OS. There is security added in that seems good at first, but becomes more annoying as time goes on.

I have found 2 big issues with Maya and Vista:

1. It seems to have issues when overwriting a ma file and simply states maya has halted and closes it down
2. Mental Ray does not work. This is a known issue and Autodesk have stated no version of Maya is currently supported on Vista.

I am now going back to either 2000 or XP (prob XP tbh)

BB and NN all.
