HEM with Windows 7

[Graaama]

I am just wondering if there will be any problems using the new Windows 7 system for HEM as I am thinking of upgrading me in a near future..?

It works fine. I run HEM on Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit RTM with Postgres 8.4.1. I had some issues after restoring the HEM DB from backup, but it could have been due to corruption in my old DB (most likely) -- pretty sure it didn't have anything to do with Win7. I manually fixed things up by importing the problem HH's from archives. I'd suggest exporting all your HEM hands first, rather than relying on a Postgres backup like I did. If you're particularly anal, do both, as I will in the future.

Treat Win7 like you would Vista, i.e. UAC considerations, running as Admin, etc. Win7 is pretty much Vista SP3 anyway.

Thanks, this helps me alot. I know Win7 is very equal to Vista but unfortunately I only have 32 bit system, so the 64 bit Windows 7 seems pretty interesting.
