"I currently have Vegas 6, and am trying to decide whether or not to upgrade to Vegas 7. Are both of them compatible with Windows Vista?"

Ok, I have ran the latest Vista 5744 (RC2) and Vegas 7 installs ok but when you run the program, I get the Run32.dll has stopped working error but then Vegas opens. Vegas 6d on the other hand, worked flawlessly. That said, Vista is still Beta and even after RTM, many companies will have to update their software to work with Vista and its new OS.

IMO, Vista looks nice but cant tell much of a difference b.t it and XP other than the beefed up security etc...

Well, sometimes, in Vegas 6 or 7, the Sony audio plug-ins won't work. Apparently, they don't register correctly (manual RegSrv32 does nothing either). They also didn't show up in the list of Audio Plug-ins, and the preloaded ones DO show up, but they won't have titles.

There is no benefit of going to Vista. It provides nothing over XP really. And the suggested improved security is already coming under fire. All the good stuff was stripped from Vista because of dev problems, cost and delays, except for the nice desktop wall paper. I can't think of any software that will benefit from Vista right now. Even parts of DirectX 10 are delayed until mid-next year, according to the news.

Assuming you buy the final Vista release, you will certainly want to reformat your drive and do a fresh install. So, I can't figure out why anyone would want to do it. I am going to wait until about this time next year with vista SP1 that should have at least some of what Vista will be missing on launch day.

Of course I am setup to dual boot to Vista RC2 now. But I found nothing in Vista worth playing with. I was highly underwhelmed.
