Is anyone using Vista and enjoying it? I am. Vista Home Premium. There are a few things you have to figure out to work with Vista's security, but overall it seems a fairly solid OS. I'm using the CS3 developer bundle, and FlexBuilder 3, for most of my development tools, plus an assortment of

It's time for me to get a new computer and I have heard so many horror stories about Vista that I am thinking of switching to Mac. What tools are people using to develop on the Mac. I mostly Flash IDE, FlexBuilder, FlashDevelop, SWFMill, SWFDump, HaXe, FlashTracer - are these available on Mac?

I know you're asking for more specific info, but, hey: Just get a Mac and run Parallels or VMWare. I run XP on my Mac. I also have Vista installed under Parallels for when a customer calls up with a Vista-specific problem, but otherwise I never use it. Dave Segal wrote: It's time for me to

Speaking of Ubuntu, I do my Flash development on an Ubuntu box. Flex Builder 3, the Flex SDK, and Flash Player 9 run fine on it. If you really need the IDE, you can VMWare, Remote Desktop, or plain-old dual boot into your commercial OS of choice to run it. Nowadays, you can buy a cheap Windows

Does disabling UAC make the OS any faster, or just less annoying? I personally work on mac and pc (win xp) and I find the flash interface on the mac intolerably slow. I tend to develop on the pc and export the final swfs (with the designer's fonts ;-) ) on the mac. Jason Van Pelt Interactive

First of all, let me say this: Overall, I think Mac is a pretty decent platform for creating Flash, I'd even say it's the best. Ok, now the bashing ;) I've worked at some companies who used Windows XP, and others (including the current one) who use Mac OS X. And between these two, the best one is

FlashDevelop is not, and probably will never be, since it's made with .NET framework. FlashDevelop beats every other editor hands down for Actionscript development. TextMate is great for other languages, and decent at AS, but FlashDevelop is truly the finest example of what an Actionscript
