XP

XP does support LightSwitch. From the forum here are the minimum system
requirements:

Under LS Minimum Requirements

System requirements
 
Supported Operating Systems: 
.Windows XP Service Pack 2 or above 
.Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1 or above 
.Windows Server 2003 R2 or above 
.Windows Vista 
.Windows Server 2008 
.Windows 7 

Supported Architectures 
.x86 
.x64 (WOW) 

Hardware Requirements 
.Computer with a 1.6GHz or faster processor 
.1024 MB RAM (1.5 GB if running in a virtual machine) 
.3 GB of available hard-disk space 
.5400 RPM hard drive 
.DirectX 9 capable video card running at 1024 x 768 or higher-resolution
display
 

I first thought LightSwitch was a dressed up version of Access but at the
first presentation I attended I found that reporting was either weak or
missing. This was one of Access's stronger points.

If you do go on the forum, can you please keep us (or least me) up to date
with your findings.

Hi Ian & Bill

I am wondering if my speed issues are to do with still being on Windows XP
I just tried to run the training kit's simple book store application
I got a "Failed to configure" message "Your current OS is not supported to
follow the Light Switch Simple Bookstore Application Lab"
