Ableton posted a statement on their forum today concerning the operability of Live version 6.0.3 under Windows Vista. While they say the latest version of Live runs "in principle" under Vista, they report finding the following problems:

• Starting Live 6.0.3. temporarily disables the Aero glass element in Vista's GUI
• The drawing of the status bar in the splash screen does not work properly
• First time decoding an MP3 (or similar) file requires administrator rights.

Ableton goes on to say "because of the known (and unknown) problems, our limited Vista experience, and the current lack of Audio & MIDI drivers, we strongly recommend testing Live and your setup before you completely switch to Windows Vista. If you are currently using Live on Windows XP, we recommend waiting before upgrading to Vista."
