Windows 7 support

We are developing and testing on windows 7 RC. Is there any information on Madcap support for windows 7 anywhere? TIA,
Bear

I can't speak for Madcap, but in the past they have not officially supported new versions of web browsers until the version of their software released after the browser was officially launched. I would imagine that OS support would follow a similar pattern. I'm not aware of any specific information regarding their products in conjunction with Windows 7 RCs at any rate.

And welcome to the forums, Bear

I'm running Win7 RC at home and have Flare 5 installed and haven't had any issues at all.

BUT

I haven't done a lot of advanced stuff and haven't pushed Flare at all. Just doing some basic topic updates.

Keep in mind that Windows 7 is 90% Vista, so there really isn't any difference. Windows 7 is merely Vista SP2 with a hefty price tag to screw over even more Microsoft fanbois.
In regards to MadCap's support for new Windows versions, I am sure that they will say something only after W7 ships. Nobody in their right mind announces support to be present for an OS that is still in beta/RC stage.

I asked MadCap about this a while back, and they said that they wouldn't annouce support until 7 was shipping.

I am a running Flare v4 and V5 on the public beta of Windows 7 and it appears to work fine, but offically I don't think that madcap will support it untills it released,
