[AccessD] Moving to Windows 7 ??

Hi Robert,

I have been using Vista 64 as a development platform for about 2 years, and 
Windows 7 64 for several months with no problems that I can relate to Win 7 
or 64 bit.  It seems I got a warning for VB 6 but I installed it anyway and 
it seems to work, though I do not develop much in it anymore. VS 2008, 
Access 2003 and 2007 work fine.

When I set up my Win 7 machine I switched to 2 Intel 80G SSD's in raid 0 and 
my machine is much faster but I'm sure the raid 0 and being careful not to 
load as many programs that run in the back ground as to Win 7 VS Vista.

As noted programs with 16 bit installers will not install, like QuickBooks 
2003 but the new VM included with Win 7 (Pro and up) solves that problem.


Bill

I'm currently evaluating moving my main development machines to Windows 7.

My questions is:

1) Can you successfully Develop a 32 bit application such as MS Access
(2003-2007) with many ActiveX Controls, in Windows 7 64 Bit?

2) Should I even Use Windows 7 64 Bit? ...;-)

WBR
Robert
