Office 2007 Compatibility Pack Seems to Work

I know that our initial meeting several people had discussed how slow the Office 2007 Compatibility Pack was at converting docx, xlsx, and pptx files.  I have recently installed the fully release of that program on four different computers and the conversion times seem very reasonable, 3-10 seconds.  Can someone else install the currently released version and verify this?  It seems to work very well and if so this could allow us to hold off on upgrading academic units to office 2007 while still giving them the ability to open those files.http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=941B3470-3AE9-4AEE-8F43-C6BB74CD1466&displaylang=en

SCF Software Detailed Vista Problems

Here are details on some of the problems with Vista in the SCF. I will update this doc, as new info becomes available.

1. AutoCAD 2007:
AutoCAD 2007 will install under Vista and run. However it is not optimized for Vista so it runs very slow and refresh rates are terrible. Autodesk recommends waiting for AutoCAD 2008.

2. No official HP Printer driver for the HP 9050 B&W printer. Built-in Vista drivers do work, however functionaly is missing.

3. ArcInfo 9.2 installs and runs, however like AutoCAD 2007, has performance problems.

4. Maple 10 Network version does not install. No official word from Maple on a fix.

5. SAS 9.1.3 also does not work in Vista, No official word from SAS on a fix.

6. Keyclient from Sassafras sofwtare has erradict behavior under Vista, such as loading/unloading randomly and not reporting software usage.
