[LOGic] LOGic & Vista

[Rich K.]

Running Vista on a laptop with Logic and Mixw.....all works fine. 

I hope the parts that are inside of that $500 computer are of good quality!
I am a system builder and have found that those "blue-light" special
computers are cheaply made with sub-quality components. Maybe you trust the
manufacturer, though. 

Doing an "in-place" operating system upgrade is NEVER a good idea. It should
always be a fresh install, in my opinion.

Good Luck.

I just bought a new computer for the ham shack.  It cost under $500, and
came with Vista Home Basic loaded.  This is actually one of the first
computers that I've bought off the shelf.  I usually put mine together --
but today it's cheaper to buy an full system than to buy the parts
individually. That didn't use to be the case.  But, I digress.  My question
is do any of you have experience with LOGic and Vista?  The hosenose.com web
site says the latest version of LOGic 8 works with Vista.  MixW claims to
work with Vista, as does Trx-Manager.  Before I actually transfer all my ham
stuff to the new computer, I'd appreciate hearing what others who have
"taken the Vista challenge" (hi hi) have to say.  I have Vista on one other
machine and know a little about the trials and tribulations you can get into
with an upgrade install, which I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. If you
install Vista on a WinXP machine I highly recommend a clean install. My new
system, however, comes with Vista already on it.

Thanks for any advice you can give me.
