I have S8.5 and it runs great on Windows 7, even though it was developed on XP. Sonar is now 2 mature generations beyond 8.5. I just don't see this as a Sonar issue.


That is exactly where my gripe lies.......I have an old Mbox interface that used to work with XP and with a lot of hassle I could get it to run on Vista....now it is completely obsolete because it will not run at all on 7....the support has been withdrawn.....simply because Windows cannot be bothered to develop new systems that work with old stuff. I also have a gripe about Windows rushing through new operating systems that are not fully developed and have many issues. They then cannot sort out bugs and are constantly refusing to supply fixes. It is the old story .......once you have created a monopoly you can then do what you want....leaving the customer hanging out to dry.
