Hi, I work in the ISV team at Microsoft UK (I look after the relationship with Iris amongst others) and I would to hear more about the compatibility issues you are seeing. To clear some things up, the Iris press release for the legal team was specifically saying that Iris DO support Windows 7 - they have many, many products and while some support Windows 7 fully today, it will take a while for the full list to move to Windows 7 support, however they do have legal software for you to use today. On the "wait for SP1" note - even big analyst firms like Gartner are saying "don't wait for SP1". Also, Microsoft can't supply drivers and support if the hardware manufacturer has gone bust or no longer supports the devices. I can help find out which camp things are in, so let me know and I will help. If I become overwhelmed with responses I might be limited in what I can do, however most of the time when I make these offers almost no-one replies. Also, sometimes the answer might not be a "we will fix it", but a "no". To try to make this easier Microsoft release "XP Mode" which enables a copy of Windows XP to run inside Windows 7 for those applications that are really stubborn. It also allows drivers for things like USB devices to be installed inside the XP Mode system where Win 7 or Vista drivers don't exist. Looking forward to some feedback!! David Overton
