We are looking to upgrade our workstations (3 machines).
Our IT dept. is questioning going to Windows Vista or staying with XP pro on the workstations.
Does anyone know when SW is planning on going to full Windows Vista support and not support XP Pro, Like they did with SW2007 and Windows 2000 pro.

Thanks

You have to understand that Solidworks supported Windows 2007 for 5 years after the release of Windows XP. The principle reason they stopped supporting it is that Mircrosoft stopped supporting it. Given that, there's no immediate danger of support for XP dropping.
It looks like 2008 is going to ship with Vista 32 (not 64) support. Since that's going to happen in October (guestimating based on 2007's ship date), my hunch is 2007 won't fully support Vista
Besides, you're going to get a lot more benefits from 64bit architecture in the near term then you will from Aeroglass.
