(you'd get this reference if you'd been doing Vegas for over 15 years). How many times, for example, did we try the newest Quicktime driver, only to have to revert back to a "tried and true" QT 7.4. For example, if I have older hardware, I'm not necessarily going to benefit by an OS update, in fact, sometimes the opposite would be the result. But OSs are a mixed bag, what you might gain in one area, you certainly can lose in another, and that would vary from user to user and with that particular user's other, non OS, components. I do agree with the idea that one would want to limit any component, software, hardware, or OS, that might add to one's potential for problems. Plenty of people, witnessed on this forum, are having as many, and probably MORE problems than I, and they are running your favored OS (and good for them, but I'm not telling THEM that they are ill informed, or blindly headed off the cliff).

Most would agree, I'm quite sure, that Vegas has enough trouble keeping out of its own way and prioritizing substance over style (or gizmos, or hamburger menus and storyboards) forget about Win 7 (0r 8 or 29) being the problem that WE Vegas aficionados have to worry about - stability wise, reliability wise.

Look, I'm not trying to start WWIII over OSs and Vegas.
