What release are you using?  just curious...
At Tech Ed they gave me a beta version (unkown release).  I haven't gotten around to playing with it yet though.
Death is nothing to us...
    Since when we are, death has not come.

Looks like XP is still the way to go, even with new hardware.

I read that in the morning yesterday, but then got so busy I didn't get it posted.  Very good article, and makes me rethink not installing Vista on the new system.

Wouldn't it work better if you HAVE DX10 equipment?

What I was saying that the movie would look better on a DX10 system.  I didn't realize that it was recorded and would give you an example.
