Catia with Vista
(OP)
Has anyone used upgraded to Vista and using V5? Just wondering if there are any issue before I make a switch.

Every set of media for Catia installation is OS specific, and there have not been any Vista releases yet. You are almost certainly asking for some flavor of trouble if you install Catia on a Vista machine at this point in time.
Be patient. Wait for the right tool for the job.
What's more - if you've used a computer for any amount of time, you should know better than to rush into a brand new OS. Why not wait to see what the major issues are, and think a little harder about it around SP1 or so? All the preliminary data indicates that there are problems with Vista, especially as it pertains to OpenGL enabled applications.

Vista doesn't properly support OpenGL, the graphics language used by Catia. Instead MS opted to try and push their own DirectX to the forefront. Until the necessary drivers for OpenGL are adequately working with Vista, I wouldn't bother trying any OpenGL based software on a Vista platform. Pro/E, Solidworks and others are reporting performance drops of upto 80% when using Vista. Check out Tom's hardware page for more information.

I was just wondering if you had news on CATIA's certification. Bought a notebook recently (like most members here battling with Vista) with Vista preinstalled on it and have trouble setting up V5R16 on it.
It's just that the latest post here dates back to March and now's August.

Catia is not supported on Vista. That still has not changed.

So, it's a hacked install, then?
