Windows 7 Compatibility

I have looked on the Smartlaunch website, which says that smartlaunch only works up to windows vista. But their support forums clearly show that they have a beta running on windows 7. If there a commercially available version that runs on 7?

rsteele is running Smartlaunch with no issues on windows 7.

Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit.

It works well enough I guess.

[dromney]

Awesome. Thank you for the quick response. Another question. Have any of you tried to run smartlaunch on a linux disto and wine?

[Deeds]

Yes.. and it doesn't work right.  Would be kinda pointless thou cause you majority of games won't work with wine properly.

W7 Pro FTW, especially if you are using WSvr2003/2008. We have been using it in our centers since before SP1 and it has been a vast improvement over manageability and for mappings and rights assignments.

So there aren't any issues with running it on Win7 Pro?

[Deeds]

I've never run into a single thing and I put up a test system for rsteele to help out with some issues a a year or so back.

We've set up entire stores using Win7, no major issues.  Just be sure to use Pro so you can take advantage of Active Directory.
