Does P3 work with Vista? Hubby got me a new laptop and it came with vista :)
 
YES, it does. Brandon with HO Technical Support was very helpful in walking me through the set up and some of the features. Just sent my first show last week. I was a little slow at it, but eventually I will be able to do it in my sleep just like with PP.
 
It doesn't work with the 64-bit version of Vista. There have been several threads about this already. If you have the 32-bit version of Vista, you should be OK, though.
