Vista Users: Possibly More Reason to Get CS3

Hey folks, if you're planning to use your pre-CS3 copy of Photoshop with your new version of Vista, you may want to think again:

According to a statement posted on Adobe’s Web site, the company “does not plan to issue updates to current versions of those products for Windows Vista compatibility.”

That means users will have to pay hundreds of dollars to upgrade their Adobe software if they want trouble-free performance on Windows Vista, which is now preinstalled in virtually all new PCs shipping in the United States. That’s because the current versions of most of Adobe’s major products won’t work properly on the new operating system.

I personally have not tried any of the older versions of Photoshop on Vista, so I can't report on any glitches. Anyone else?

Update: Here's an FAQ from Adobe about all of their products' compatibility with Vista.

I have used Vista and CS2. The result: Bridge freezes all the time. I'd recommend holing off on Vista for a while (maybe a long while).

I use CS2 on a Vista 64 platform with no issues. I cannot attest for Bridge's performance since Windows Photo Gallery suits my needs fine.

The performance of CS2 is on par with the os, however I do run it in compatibility mode and with elevated rights. Hope this helps.

I have just used Photohop 7 on Vista just using some basic image controls ( brightness contras etc blow up, and reduce) image size etc No problem.
