I am just asking if someone has tried Win7 and OOo to counter
what the upgrade advisor software is saying.
Well - I have been running Windows 7 (Someone called it Vista 7 - never
heard of that package) RC since it's release.
I have been running OO.o on it since oh 20 minutes after loading Windows 7
So far it is running fine - I've used Writer, Impress and 'surprise' Base.
In fact OO.o seems to be much more responsive under Windows 7 then it
was under XP and way more then under Ubuntu Jaunty.
(One problem is that there is no Windows Address book any longer under 7
as they have moved to LiveMail, which is a Web2.0 mail system
But if you didn't use Outlook Express so what - if you used OutLook then
you can upgrade to Outlook 7 - but I don't so can't speak to that)
The message IIRC was that the package had not passed a Windows Logo
Certification - which is true as far as I know.

I used Outlook Express, the when I moved to Vista, I imported
everything to Thunderbird.
They say Win 7 will be what Vista wanted to be.
Maybe it will be a good for OOo. Look how fast it
runs in Win7. I have run OOo Win98, Win2000/pro
XP home and pro, and now Vista. The only one that
I still do not run is the Win98 system.
Maybe MS did something right with Win7, but it is
now working on Win8, so who knows.
Thanks. Now we have someone who can say OOo works on
Win7 so we can tell people not to worry if they see
the "not compatible" notice.
By the By, there was an online advisor version that
stated that I did not have a CD or DVD drive installed.
also it stated that I did not have enough RAM. I have
3 gig and the minimum was 1 gig.
Oh well.
We shall see what we shall see.
