Windows 7 compatibility? by Acrewsyx on 03-14-2009 at 06:13 PM
Hey there. I'm presently beta testing Windows 7 (build 7048) and I was wondering, has the great team of programmers here tested out their program on this beta Operating System?
So far everything is stable - a lot of programs are compatible on Windows 7, however Plus isn't and I was wondering will there be a release for us testers to see if anything new is being thought of and proposed.
Just a general wondering, I'm sure you'll have your hands full with other different projects but will there be any possible integration into the beta OS?

Patchou said he would not be writing anything compatibilty wise for the windows 7 OS yet. This is because it's not RC yet. As soon as it becomes an RC, he will intergrate it with the 7 operating system.
I found plus worked on windows 7, just not all of the features.

Well the RC is expected around April 10th, but this might change of course.
Well no problem then. I'll wait patiently for the integration.

Overall, it works just fine, as Nathan said, with some minor bugs.

There are a few features that don't work in windows 7, such as the tabs + preview taskbar, the boss feature doesn't work, and a few more minor bugs.
