Anyway, from this point of view (as Win 7 can be considered a "tweaked Vista" they probably work the same way. -
thats why many call Windows 7 "Vista as it should have been"

but honestly, it is quite a bit faster than Vista. and more reliable. and less power consuming. I even experienced that SketchUp starts up a lot quicker with Win7. and the screen getting all white when you execute a complex process and then try to use the mouse doesn't happen as often anymore...
-
So it goes blank when you try to use the mouse?

Fortunately using the mouse is a rare occasion in SU
-
oh no, I didn't make myself clear there. it doesn't go blank.
in the past I quite often experienced the SketchUp screen going white when you try to use the mouse while a complex process is running (e.g. running sandbox tool on a huge dxf file). now with Win 7 that doesn't happen anymore... or at least not that often
-
I was just joking, Jakob.

BTW glad you see you back (a bit more often?)
-
thanks. haven't had much time lately to drop by. its the final semestre for me and I am rather busy. will of course post some images once my first ideas are on paper/SketchUp, to get your opinion.

Good luck Jakob

And please come back afterwards as this place needs spicing up.
For a moment I thought you had abandoned SU and went to a better meadow. -
thank you, kwistenbiebel.
just came back from a one week trip to Amsterdam. and in many hours of brooding (quite relaxed on the sun lit cobblestone streets of the city centre) I got some ideas for dear old SketchUp. sometimes, when the limitations become painful, I start looking for something else. but I always come back in the end
