>but once you're there you'll find a lot of other reasons to use it. Elastic Reality, >Photoshop, WinImages Fx, Real3D, Perception Video Recorder etc. All will either >work in NT or have NT versions available First of all, let me make it clear that I was simply responding to Brent's request for feedback about IPAS migration for R5 — I was telling him (and still am) that I will NOT move to R5 until and unless my favorite IPAS routines are there (or that functionality is built into R5 — but fat chance of that!). I want my favorite IPAS developers to know how important this is to me (and hopefully, others). But, on the subject, I am NOT going to go to NT except for R5. I have a dual boot sequence now (actually, given the network, I have a quadruple boot sequence, but that's another story). I just don't see a big advantage in changing operating systems (always a major hassle no matter what anyone says) unless I end up with a completely integrated environment. I already have Elastic Reality and PhotoShop, and thus not being in NT doesn't penalize me any. Okay, so maybe the 32bit versions really kick butt, but they don't add ANY more functionality, and changing operation systems etc. etc. (Right now I have hardware/software that definitely does NOT work in NT, and it will cost me many thousands not to be able to use this stuff — I have to have a very compelling reason to switch and R5 in and of itself — without the IPAS that make it live and breathe — ain't gonna be it). IMHO.
