And now for Something Completely Different.
Windows Vista vs. Ubuntu Linux Beryl, with a techno soundtrack:

Interesting that they don't bring Mac into the fray.
(If SketchUp ran on Linux, I would be so "outa here" with Windows.

Hi Edson,
After jumping into OSX I must admit I missed some of the
'old ways'. I have however located quite a few Mac programs
and utilities that helped to ease the transition and Mac
Explorer is one of them. At €15 I think its good value.The Rage Site explains the features of Mac Explorer far better
than I could, so I'd suggest that you have a quick look. The
link is here, http://www.ragesw.com/products/explorer.htmlAnother utility that I'm using permanently is Sticky Windows.
This utility allows me to 'grab' a program window and 'slap'
it to the edge of the screen. It sticks there as a tab !
I think this is a better alternative to the 'Dock' as I like
to leave the dock clean, just to be used for programs. You can
check out Sticky Windows at
http://www.donelleschi.com/stickywindows/ BTW this firm does
a few other useful little utilities, Cunning Fox being one of
them.Mike

Well after much harrasment I've got SU and a few other programs working on Vista. ACAD is a non starter though. I have to say though there are a few useful tools in Vista but not many.

I had to right click the ACAD icon and set it to run in compatibility mode (WinXP) and with Admin. rights to get Acad-07 to run in Vista. It really only took a few minutes on the AutoCAD site to find out how. What version are you running?

Architectural Desktop 2005 but I'm thinking about buying Allplan by Nemetschek rather than AutoCAD 2008. Check Allplan out, I've seen it demonstrated, amazing
