Compatibility of old(ish) Software with Windows 7

[Davis, David]

The thing is, Robert, 
FM7 and Acrobat 7 have problems with more than just Windows 7, 
and if someone's earning their living using them, my advice to them would be to update their tools to something more recent, rather than compromise their operating system!
Even on a basic level, if you only have FM7, you are not going to be able to open any FrameMaker docs you get sent from people with FM7.1, 7.2, 8, 9, 10, 11 or 12! 
And you don't have Unicode support (that was FM 7.2, I think?).

David

The subject of this thread is "Compatibility of old(ish) Software with Windows 7" and the opening post specifically mentioned FM7 and Acrobat 7, which do have problems with 64-bit Windows.
