I will be reviving a new computer soon and was told its going to have Vista on it
I've herd Vista won't run Autodesk Architectural Desktop 2007

Basically at this moment in time Autodesk have recently released Service Pack 1 for ADT 2007 and stated that they will shortly be releasing a Hotfix for 2007 to provide support whilst running on Vista, therefore currently it is unsupported, it might work - it might not.

However ACA2008 (the new name for this years release of ADT) is supported on Vista Home Premium, Business and Enterprise.

Hi "edward.kohles"

Please note I have *moved* this thread from the Productstream General forum to this one, as I feel this particular forum is a more appropriate place for such a topic.

Thanks, Mike

While I think you can run ADT2007 on Vista, it won't run well. I (personally) wouldn't touch that new PC until you go to ACA2008.

They a SP in beta for running 2007 AutoCAD on VIsta. I have not heard anything official for the verticals built on acad, but usually a SP for acad translates into one for the verts eventually.

Well isn't that nice of Adesk to make sure that you are not only on a subscription, but you must be installing it.
