I'm a CorelDraw user since version 3, I have just installed X4 on a fresh new Vista (Dell notebok D830 with Intel Graphics, Aero disabled).
I'm very disappointed by X4, it keep crashing for many resons:
1) It crashes sometimes if you past text from Word (2007)
2) It crashes sometime if you print
3) It chashes sometime if you double click on a guide line
4) Other i do not remember, but in a full day work I have to reboot not less than 5 times.
When it crashes Window does, so there is nothing I can do then hard-reboot the computer.
I never had problems with X3 SP2 (same windows same computer).
The question are: why do we have to wait for SP1 to have a decent stability? Should I switch back to X3 and ask refound for X4 -or better- should I switch to Adobe software?
Sincerely I think X4 is a piece of crap.
A very upset Corel customer.
P.S. CorelPaint X4 works like a charme.
Me, personally, I'd Dump VISTA, (since it's the REAL piece of crap) and go with XP. Not making a joke, just stating the facts. I have been an IT professional for 20+ years, and have never seen a more troublesome OS than Vista.

My friend says even ME is better than Vista in terms of problems/troubles.
True. and Windows ME was garbage! I think the problem is that Microsoft is too big, and was forced to rush Vista to the market without sufficient testing. They used to have an internal alpha testing program, then an external Beta program, and then finally a stable release. Lately it seems they are leaving the beta testing to the paying customers.
