For the most part XSI runs great when it runs. But if you run into a
graphics/hardware issue, be forewarned.....you will learn to curse XSI to no
end. It will crash/disappear more often than Max ever does. I've had some
boxes that were certified driver/OS/hardware and XSI would disappear
constantly. The odd thing was, we had identically setup boxes and the other
guys 5.0 licenses ran great. I've heard of ppl that ran non-certified
hardware (gene) and XSI ran like a race horse while others (I can count on
more than two hands folks I know personally) would have XSI disappearing
constantly...not even crashing, just vanishing while doing basic modeling
tasks or double clicking a shader node in the rendertree. Overall, I'm
really happy with XSI but sad to say, quite disappointed with it's hardware
compatability. It is the pickiest software I've used to date. 5.1 is the
same. Depends on hardware/drivers/os. With all that being said, I'm still
using XSI as my weapon of choice so that should say something for what it
does have to offer.

Subject: How often is too often?
I know this is a big can of worms, but what the hey.
How often does xsi crash for the peeps on this list? Daily? Bi weekly?
Hardly ever?
Is it possible to run it and keep your hair?
I'm not looking for specific help or sympathy even, ( thanks, tho, to
all who've helped me here before) just doing a survey really.
I want to buy a full advanced license, but I'm commitment phobic
generally. (I may still have a thing for Max).
