Although not officially
certified, XSI should run pretty smoothly on Vista if connected to XP or Linux SPM server. One major limitation
currently being that the SPM server is not supported on Vista at this time.
Also people have reported that the fxtree view hit testing
did not work, which implies there may be problems with ray casting as well in
the 3D viewport. This is a video driver issue: it happens when the graphic
card forces scene anti-aliasing onto the application.

Conversation: Vista and XSI?
Subject: Re: Vista and
XSI?
Vista comes in 32 and 64-bit flavors (in addition to about 5
different packages). I assume XSI 6.0 SHOULD work fine with Vista, since
one of their real-time renderer plugins is DX10 (which only runs under
Vista).
I haven't tried it personally, but I might pick up a Vista upgrade
tomorrow. Then I'll obviously have to figure the license transfer
process.

I'm
in the market for a laptop(not to drudge up the old "laptops" thread). As of
today, everything Dell sells will come with MS Vista. Does anyone know if
XSI runs (well) on it? Also, is Vista 64bit? therefore allowing one to run
XSI 64bit?
Another question: I looked at the recommended hardware
list for XSI mobile workstations. It's pretty small. I also noticed that a
lot of you are running lappys with graphics cards not on the list. I'm
looking into Dell's mostly, so Inspirons, M90/65 and XPS are on the research
list. As long as I upgrade from the built in graphics controller to GeForce,
Quadro, or Radeon I should be able to run XSI, correct??
