The reason for that, however, is Debut worked on Leopard already and didn't require patching. Do bear in mind that either version is PPC and not a Universal Binary. As such, it is emulated and not really as snappy as a native app. The EX version received the update solely, correct.

There are specific problems with Manga Studio EX on Vista, though. My Cintiq is a slow turd on Vista and zippy as all get-out on Mac, too. Agreed, Vista does suck.

Granted, I haven't done much with the program, as I'm still learning it, but it has presented me with no problems in any way so far. I wonder if the updater makes MS as functional on Leopard? As I have a Mac Pro, I probably won't install Leopard at all until I install another internal hard drive, so I can install it there and keep both Tiger and Leopard functioning so I can avoid such software conflicts with the new OS.

I have gone back to photoshop, I may splurge for painter X, I gotta play around with the demo more and see if it's worth the leap.

I hope Painter proves to be the fix. Funny there's been a lot of these issues involving the Mac users of Zbrush 2 waiting for the long promised upgrade to version 3, while them PC folks are enjoying 3.1. Seems Pixologic has suggested a "fix" like Boot Camp and while a lot of the Mac users have been complaining about the "fix" and the long wait, there's only been "unofficial" word in the past about when 3 for Mac would be released (one date came and went months ago) and the Zbrush community threads on the subject have been closed... Interesting parallels... Bummer Ray.

Right on Ray! I bitched to E-frontier and got stonewalled about problems I had with it not being able to import the work I'd already done on the trial version of the software. Since that time, I'd accepted their lack of interest and disdain for their users as endemic to the company. (Now back to the present day) Smith Micro appears to at least be responding... Fingers crossed! (I’m responding to this note before I respond to the updated note…)
