windows 7 testing with actinic

[wesleythorne]

hi, has anyone done any testing of actinic on windows 7? if so any problems noted.

I have windows 7 RC installed on a spare pc and it seems very stable.
Previously the pc was running xp so same hardware for testing.

Just installed actinic v9.04 to see how it runs for test only.

First impressions actinic running quicker especially previews. Snapshot import is quicker.

Noted a problem with selecting more than one sub section holding down the 'ctr' key or shift key for groups of selection.
Some of those items selected do not move when dragging to another section.
Some items do not highlight.

i tested a while ago but have since removed w7 from that pc and converted it to a test webserver

I did not find any issues with actinic and i found it alot faster, although i felt this was because ms had not filled it full of crap. The production release might be a different story

[wesleythorne]

certainly much faster running actinic

This was the same as far as 9.0.2 - I haven't tried 9.0.3 or 9.0.4 - on Vista (Home Premium and Ultimate) - selecting multiple options in a list (for example, in the content tree - sections, sub-sections, products and even options) was difficult, Vista certainly didn't seem to like it and wouldn't let me highlight 2+.

If anyone looking to buy windows 7

I got sent an email to pre order upgrade. W7 Home £49.99 and W7 Pro £99.99

we have ordered a copy of windows 7 from amazon pro version.
It has been selling well due to it being a full version and half price, but supplies are limited and I have heard some stores have already sold out of the pre order version.

How much did you pay for the full version

[wesleythorne]

£86 for pro version amazon
note prices are going up,
a quick search on google will throw up some options, or go to the microsoft website for full details.

you can even download the windows 7 rc for free and use in for several months for testing purposes.
