Windows 7 & Cineform at DVinfo.net

Ok, so I have my retail box of Windows 7 Professional in my hands but I'm a bit hesitant to jump right away and migrate everthing from my Windows Vista Ultimate 64 Bit system to this new OS. I've already played a little bit with this new slick OS on my laptop but I plan on installing Win 7 Pro 64bit on the video editing box. So I want to hear from anyone who's already moved over how this has worked out for them. Does Cineform (in its latest builds) fully support this new OS? I know there have been a past thread mentioning some issues with some components like First Light and some other woes with Adobe Premiere. Well I know CS4 still needs some work even under Vista, but CS3 should still be solid. Anyone want to share their experience so far?

So should I wait? Or should jump right in?

GeForce GTX 260

PPro CS4.1 and the latest build of Cineform Prospect HD is working for me on Win 7 x64 RC1. Just make sure you install Cineform by right-clicking on the installation file and selecting "install as administrator".

Working fine here in Win7 64bit. No realtime Cineform engine yet but that hasn't been a problem. Biggest issue for me is no project trimming of cfhd projects.

Same here, using RC. Guess I ought to buy the final release version now....
