- It does work with Vista!
I run an Online Astronomy Group HantsAstro.org. This product, once updated works fine with Vista Premium.

- Redshift 6 premium edition is not Vista compatible!
This product was advertised on the Amazon website as compatible with Windows Vista. Having just bought the product, the system requirements printed on the box are as follows: Operating System - Windows ME / 2000 / XP / x64.
No mention of Vista. Therefore I am making the assumption it is not Vista compatible. Amazon would be advised to read what is says on the tin before selling it!
