Wondering if anybody has upgraded Windows XP (or whatever) to the new MS VISTA OS???

From what I've been reading, I'd wait for six months (and this has nothing to do with WebFOCUS).

In a related area - has anybody upgraded to IE 7.0 and seen any issues with WebFocus reporting?

Ditto on IE 7. I only use it (v6) when I need to. I use Firefox for everything else.

Vista? They are only changing the name because they don't like references to "Windowse" - I'll have to look for an alternate to Vista Wink but like most I wouldn't bother until the initial "gamma" testing has been completed by the first people to buy it Razzer and the resultant bugs ironed out.

IE7? Yes, there are a few problems with WebFOCUS but there are patches for most if not all from IB and they work well (to date anyway Big Grin)

I agree with the preference towards Firefox but as most Clients (nad their Users) still use IE then my usage is geared accordingly. I do like the fact that the Firefox tabbed approach has finally been adopted in IE7 though.

Hi,

There is no official support date for Windows Vista. We will issue a statement of support/certification on the Information Builders support site. As in the past, Information Builders has always certified
current versions of the Microsoft Operating System(s) with it's software.

As for IE 7.0 this is currently supported. You can review the information found under the following URL:

THANKS!!! to everyone responding...

I ALWAYS wait, BUT, clients, sometimes, do not. My current client wants to upgrade, BUT, thanks to TSR123, I am able to convince them to wait for IBI.

Again, thanks for the replies...

Tom
