VMS 8

Is this true? Is the Vista Version actually available? When communicating with Sony with problems with 7.0 platinum, I was told that the Vista version wouldn't be out for another 30-60 days. And, that was just a couple of days ago.

Hard to say. I've seen several new posters mention VMS 8, so one would think that maybe that's the version they got. Then again, one would also reasonably think that one could look at sonycreativesoftware.com's website to find out. The Vegas Studio page doesn't say what version is current. The only reference i found at all is on the demos download page which still lists version 7.

Ooooooo... But just do a Google search:

I don't know if its available in stores yet, but some "window of availability" must have just opened up:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16832135191

http://www.videoguys.com/vegasmoviestudio.html

Haven't read any of these yet...

Edit: Okay -- I quickly read some of the stuff at VideoGuys. VMS and VMS Plat will both have the new "snapping" feature. You guys are going to LOVE that. (Vegas got the snapping feature in Version 7)

Tech Specs at buy.com link specifically lists Vista or XP SP2 for operating system requirements. So Vista is officially supported.

Again, though, these links might be a bit early. Not sure if this product is actually shipping yet, but Sony had previously announced VMS 8 being available in July.

Boy oh boy.....

It seems too good to be true. I was just getting ready to look for something else. And I did NOT want to do that.

Yippee!

The "My Software" page offers me an "Upgrade to Vegas Movie Studio+DVD Platinum Edition", but even there it doesn't say which version. Grrrrrrrrrr.

Speaking of which, has anyone else noticed that the "My Software" page doesn't seem to be sorted anymore? It's a minor issue, but it is a tad annoying.

VMS + DVD 8 was available for pre-order on May 30, 2007 & shipped on June 19, 2007 @ nulime.com. I can recomend them.
