Hi all,

Vista has tons of compatibility issues, especially with opengl. As far as I know pymol, swisspdbviewer and a number of other opengl based programs do not work on vista. (Coot has some compatibility problem with Aeroglass, and pymol might have a stable release for vista soon.) More programs are being upgraded to support vista but you might find yourself in trouble with legacy programs that are no longer supoorted. I would not suggest running crystal graphic softwares on vista (or xp) unless you have a good reason. But to choose the lesser of 2 evils I would go for xp. If price is an issue then you should go for linux, as many of us already suggusted.

cheers,
Ray

Hi All,
I am about to buy a laptop and find that the XP is twice the price of Vista. Does anyone have positive experience using Vista for crystallographic packages: CCP4, Coot, O, X-plor? or must I still avoid it?


Thanks,


Deena
