Maybe I missed this, but anyone experiencing any issues with Microsoft's latest and greatest along with CS4??

Thanks, Ken

Windows 7 rocks, IMO.

Fact is there's less issues with CS4 (none in my experience, in fact) on Win
7 than with Snow Leopard.

Late breaking news is that I'm finding 6.04 to be extraordinarily
unstable under Win 7 x64 on my MacBook Pro. The problem is acute with
text-heavy documents that involve diacritics, but the app will
occasionally crash no matter what kind of file I'm working on. In the
suite, this problem is unique to ID. None of the other design apps (PS,
IA, FL, DW, FW) have any problems. Unfortunately, the crashes are
sufficiently random that I've had no success nailing down a trigger that
I could file as a bug report (e.g., sometimes ID will crash a few
seconds after opening a document, then, when the same document is
immediately reopened by document recovery, there is no problem for a
while, then there's another crash while deleting text, or saving the
file, or copying -- nothing consistent).

Just to clarify, Alan ... You say you are using Win 7 on a MacBook Pro - so
presumably you are running under BootCamp or something like that?

Boot Camp, Parallels, VMWare?

If Boot Camp did you download and install the latest Boot Camp updates?

Mhhh... just tossing some guess...
- When crashes happen randomly, often it's a matter of font (corrupted,
or...).
- Being under Windows, of course I come to think about virus/malware; but
you stated other CS4 apps are working fine, so it's unlikely.
- Are you sure your version of Win7 is totally compatible with your Mac
environment? I seem to remember some compatibility issue between Win7 and
Mac.

(Been busy... hence the absence)

Thanks Pat, Bob, Valter. No malware, and it's Boot Camp 3.2. I'm a
stickler for keeping everything up to date, and Apple's really bad at
advertising things like Boot Camp fixes, so that was one of the first
things I checked after installing Snow Leopard.

Book chapters are the spectacularly bad problem on the MacBook. Other
files randomly but very infrequently crash, but one particular book
using a large number of Sanskrit diacritics would crash often, sometimes
immediately after I opened a document, then not crash with the same
document. Quite random. I was glad to get back home and onto my usual
system.

When I upgraded that (non-Apple) workstation to Win7 I didn't see these
problems until two book projects (the Sanskrit thing and another one)
both sent ID into a spin every time I tried to synchronize styles. After
a lot of poking around and testing, I finally determined that /this/
issue is with Master Pages. If you check "Master Pages" in the
Synchronize options, ID will crash immediately you try to sync any book
document to the style source. There may be other factors involved, so
I'm curious if anyone else has seen this on either platform.. I already
filed a bug report.

Meanwhile, since I'm not on the road, I don't need to use the MBP for
InDesign work.
