kdb424 Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 The only thing that I found that vista was good at was being confusing and even better at using ram. That's all I think it's better for. That's just me. I'm not a complete windows hater as I do support XP, so don't think it's all that.

Yardie Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 Last time I looked at benchmarks (CS2 or CS3) After Effects was about 10-25% faster on a PC running Windows XP than Mac OS X 10.4. I'm pretty sure this would remain the same even now unless Adobe has done something completely radical on the OS X front. The artist I know that use After Effects either use it exclusively on a PC or as part of the toolchain on OS X. Photoshop->After Effects->Final Cut Pro. I haven't heard much from Vista x64 users of After Effects. I moved away from that part of the industry so I rarely interact with After Effects professionals these days.

RFX74 Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Don't know wich one is faster, but i can say that the mac version of After Effect CS3 is much more stable than the Windows XP/Vista version. I had a lot of application crash with windows with an eavy project (4 - 5 application crash in a day), while the same project on the SAME machine worked without any problem with the mac version without ANY crash for about 4 Days (24h/24 with overnight render!). I had a similar situation with Maya for windows and Maya for Linux I didn't believe Mac was really so stable. I think i'll leave windows just for gamings, and (even if my machine is really stable and i don't really need it) i'll buy soon a real MacPro.
