Has anyone had a chance to run VMD under MS Vista and can comment on
performance?
Published benchmarks seem to indicate dismal OpenGL performance
(see http://www.tomshardware.com/2007/01/29/xp-vs-vista/page6.html ).
For this and a variety of other reasons we're recommending to our
users to stay away from Vista for now. However, I'd like some real
world stories, rather than synthetic benchmarks.
I hope to get access to a Vista box soon myself, but for now I have to
rely on word of mouth.

On a related note:
Does anyone have news about graphics drivers for Vista which restore
the lack of hardware OpenGL support?

Thanks,
Christoph
