As I am finding out, Vista is one slow dog. I started this job a month ago with 25 years in prepress. We are a busy packaging and carton shop. The PC I inherited is a Vista running HP Pavillion 64 bit, 4 gb ram Home edition. I am running Adobe CS4 and in line to purchase Pitstop. I am so used to Macs but this is what I have and there will be an iMac in another month or two.
SO trying to make the best with what I have for now. We have an HP Z3100 44" printer for proofing. Our shop is a one man prepress (me), in the midst of purchasing CTP.
With that all said, I want to dump Vista for Windoze 7. This HP is home edition. WIll Win 7 home edition be adequate or should I go the extra $75 for Pro? Will CS4 play better with Win 7. Our anticipated rip will be a harlequin in either a Dell or HP box.
ANy thoughts and advice would be more than appreciated.
