Thank you for the info!

A short while ago I wanted to check this program out, but obviously Windows Vista is not yet supported and besides there isn't a free trial version.

As Blender is the only modeling program I am familiar with, I would be glad if somebody could compare these to programs.

Are they similar in respect of features?
Probably modo has better performance when it comes to sculpting.
Judging from the modo feature videos it has also better texture painting abilities.
