Is Your Document Imaging Environment Ready for Windows 7?
When Microsoft released Windows Vista three years ago we all heard about or personally experienced how Vista was crippling otherwise powerful computers with excessive system requirements and a wide range of other issues. For many organizations these issues were reason enough to simply ignore the new OS and carry on using and ordering new PCs with XP. As XP machines reach the end of their service life and companies like Dell have halted the sale of XP loaded PCs customer are now moving to Windows 7. Though not as revolutionary in appearance as its predecessor, Microsoft has made good on promises of long-awaited refinements, including better performance and better driver and hardware compatibility in Windows 7. Windows 7 accommodates legacy applications by allow them to run in “XP Mode” and for websites designed for older browsers “Compatibility View” is available in Explorer 8. While there are some work arounds for using older versions of applications in Windows 7 it is recommended that you upgrade to the latest Windows 7 supported versions of your document imaging software products.
