Windows 7 and Sage Master Builder

Twice now, important customers have upgraded machine operating systems to Windows 7 without checking with Sage Tech Support or us. Please note that Sage has not blessed Windows 7 for use with Sage Master Builder at this time. Sage is actively testing Windows 7 with Sage Master Builder, but has deferred an official blessing at the time of this posting. We have seen SMB run in a Windows 7 environment, but have also noted some unusual behaviors that may be attributable to the Windows 7 environment. If you don't mind being on the "bleeding edge," dive right in to Windows 7, but do so at your own peril.

As with Windows XP and Vista, do not use the Windows 7 Home products, as they are likely to present problems with networking. Instead, insist on Windows 7 Professional for your business workstations.

We will post updates on Windows 7 as they become available.
