This podcast covers the steps to get ready for SolidWorks 2008. With all the graphics advancements as well as the option of running on Vista, there is a lot to know in order to get ready for this exciting release. Topics covered:

- SolidWorks Early Visibility SP0.0 available for download
- How to use early versions of SolidWorks
- Supported Operating Systems
- Supported graphics cards and Realview support changes
- SolidWorks 2008 Release Notes (highlights)

SolidWorks 2008 is an exciting release and with some of the graphic advances it is important to know what to expect. Many of you that listen to the show have probably already been running either beta or pre-release but I always like to remind users that anything, I mean anything can be pulled before SP0 so take the features that you have experienced to date with a grain of salt because nothing is in stone yet. I have watched features all of a sudden disappear due to instability in order to ensure better quality of the final release. Keep posted for the shows to come as I will get into the nitty gritty of 2008!
