Running Sonar x3 on Vista X64

Just wondering how successful Sonar X3 is running by users using the unsupported VISTA operating system.
Does everything work ok.... or are there any negatives?
 
I realise my VISTA days are numbered but cant afford to buy a new system for the foreseable future.

    Good point - give the demo a try.  If it works, it is the same engine as the full version of the product.

    Several users have reported running  X3 on Vista. There was a patch to the VST scanner for Vista which came out with X3c. Demos are always a good idea when available.
