X2 Update 1 is vapourware

[Todd Tracey from Fastech]

That patch is to allow (WHEN IT IS RELEASED) X2 MR1 or SP1 as appropriate to load via the update manager. As far as release date, it will be out when it is ready.

Hey Todd, -relax, where is Your sence of humor.

I suspect that Microsoft dropping OpenGL

support in Vista has thrown CNC Software a

curve ball. The last time I looked, even the mighty SolidWorks did not have a Vista ready release yet.

I guess the final solution will be to rewrite

everything for DirectX 10.

Can you define ready

"The last time I looked, even the mighty SolidWorks did not have a Vista ready release yet.

"

 

SolidWorks is in Beta2.

 

does CNC have a Vista Beta?

[Storkman]

Can you define "yet"?

 

 

Actually X2-MR1 is a Vista capable release. Still in beta though.

What does it mean to be Vista capable? The original X2 can't run on it?

feb 28th release on mr1?

[Zoober]

"I did not have definition with that still. Yet."

[Matthew Hajicek - Singularity]

"The still produced a spirit with excellent clarity and good definition of flavor."

[Jeff Kemper]

"What does it mean to be Vista capable? The original X2 can't run on it?"

 

Been covered, do a search. It runs. Pista does not support OpenGL graphics, emulates it, so there's a substantial performance hit. Graphics sumpin like 80% slower for Solidworks, probably about the same for X2.

 

I think any OpenGL app will run on Pista, but much slower.

 

The Pista compatable apps use the (directx?) graphics standard of Pista, and are much faster,

graphics wise.

I have read all the threads about Vista as they came up, and just did a search like suggested. I can't find anything less vague than "should" and "probably". Has anyone tried a side by side comparison of X2 with a Quadro card on XP and Vista?
