For developers, Windows 7 "Professional" should work as well. This is a step between Home and Business. I migrated most of my systems recently from XP to W7Pro and have had no related issues with any DBMS product. Unfortunately I haven't installed jBase yet but that will be done soon as well.
Since jBase v5 is a 64bit platform, you need to stick with v3 or 4 for 32bit. So my next install is v4/32/W7.

I have been holding out too since I do not want to force all my clients to buy a 64 bit system in a bad economy. Richard Kann Comp-Ware Systems, Inc.

Simon Verona -------- Original message -------- Subject: RE: jbase 4.x installation From: David Grenfell <mailto:[email protected]> <[email protected]> To: <mailto:[email protected]> "[email protected]" <mailto:[email protected]> <[email protected]> CC: Simon: Thank-you for your thoughts. I too, would much rather stay with 3.x as this is what "I grew up with", but apparently one cannot purchase licenses for this version any-more. 3.x runs on xp-pro just fine for me, and perhaps I might yet be able to license this version. I think I will put in another request. After all, its just a number in return for cash, right? I don't see any reason for Jbase company to worry about supporting it. That way, I can do all my developement on my in-house computer and know everything will work when it comes time to install at clients.
