It's Windows 7 Time

I think the new Windows 7 TV commercials have a really nice personal touch and are very cute, especially the little girl, Kylie, although I still think Mac has the funnier commercials. With the launching of the new Windows operating system, you must be wondering if Sage Accpac ERP is compatible with it.

Sage Accpac ERP version 5.6 will be compatible with Windows 7 when it is released in December. Although there will be not official testing of version 5.4 and 5.5 with Windows 7. We will also start support them with Windows 7 when 5.6 is released.

If you are using Pervasive SQL Database Engine, you will need version 10 SP3 (10.3). Only a trial version is available at the moment, but the full version should be available at the beginning of 2010. If you are using MS SQL Server, you will be require to install SP3 for SQL server 2005, and SP1 for SQL server 2008.

Once all the testings have been finalized, the information will be posted on our website. So for the most current and updated information, be sure to check our knowledge base and our system requirements page. I never had the chance to play with Vista, mainly because I'm happy with XP, and because of all the bad experiences I've heard. Hopefully, Windows 7 will be a much better experience.
