I yelled at Adobe today. Quotes like, "we never knew about Vista when we were doing DW 8". "DW does not run on Vista" - dispite the support site being littered with articles, including one where they want anyone near San Fran and using Vista/DW8 to let them use their pc to see what happens, lol.

Works fine for me - there are defiantly issues (there are many documented by Adobe) but I don't use it that much in any case. For me they're not the random failures you describe. My machine is pretty high-end (dual Opterons, 4 Gig of RAM) maybe that has something to do with it. Or maybe something else is conflicting and you're not aware. I did have some problems (although not specifically with DreamWeaver) until nVidia got off their asses and produced some decent drivers - but that's been fixed for a while. There have been a few continuing problems. BitStream Font Navigator (packaged with CorelDraw) doesn't work and I've not found a decent substitute yet. Nero ImageDrive (Nero is now selfly proclaimed "Vista Compatible") is on the list of included programs but ISN'T included when you install in Vista. Oh an Sun is dragging their feet on installers for older versions of Java (right now only version 6 will install on Vista). None of these are Microsoft issues of course. I am curious why you feel this problem would be Microsoft's fault? Microsoft came out with a newly architected OS. They told developer's years in advance. They provided beta after beta. They created a certification program for hardware and software. They warned users to make sure that their software and hardware was certified before upgrading - they provided tools to check for this. If there's a fundamental problem with DreamWeaver on Vista then the ball's in Adobe's court: they're the ones that claim the software is ready for Vista, not MS. If you're a guinea pig for anybody it's Adobe - it's them you should be yelling at.
