Does SWX work on "Home" Operating Systems?
Does SWX work on "Home" Operating Systems?
(OP)
Okay, I know the official solidworks line is that it doesn't work on the Home version of XP and Vista. Has anyone tried to run it on the Home versions? I'm buying a home computer and the "Ultimate" or "Business" versions of Vista cost about $150 extra.

Some people run SW on a Home version without any problems, some others can run it but have some problems, and yet others can't even install it.
IMO, the extra $150 is probably worth it in the long run.

I'd definately get the "Pro" version though. Or see what things look like when Windows 7 is released if you can wait. However, if you are shelling out for a PC capable of running SW well and the SW software, I'd expect $150 is only maybe 5% more. I can understand not wanting to waste $150 even if it is only 5%, but in this case I think it's worth it.
