Hey Bob, can you or one of your tech people answer this question about win 7 working with the VPN?

It’s working fine with the VPN tunnels we are using. I don’t see any reason why it wouldn’t in the released version that is coming out in October.

I have Win7 running on every computer I have at home and love it. I have only one program giving me grief and it is because it does things that are underhanded in the programming world and I have no doubt that in Oct when the final product is released this company will have an update in its product as well. I spend between 15-20 hours connected from home per week right now and don’t have any glitches at all… none. We are running test systems internally and even with our legacy applications that don’t work well with XP or Vista, Work extremely will with Win7. Some have had an enormous speed increase in reporting functions as well. We are very happy with what we see so far. If you are buying a notebook with thought of using Win7, be sure that you have a decent processor, one that supports the virtual bit technology, and will work with 64bit. You will want as much RAM in it as possible to take advantage of the 64bit operating system and later on the virtual desktop. These are all features that will greatly enhance the use of the machine. So the comment below “I doubt anything will work with Win7” is totally erroneous. It’s a great product that we wish Vista was when it came out. I even have it running on a Netbook with 2gb ram, and an atom N270 processor. I wouldn’t use it as my main system but it does just fine for word processing, email and research purposes that I use it for. It is much faster than with XP that it came with and saw all the hardware components on the netbook without having to search and load any drivers. The applications I have loaded include: Office Enterprise 2007, Live Writer, LightRoom, our service program called Connectwise, Live Writer (blogging software), Skype, JungleDisk Backup Software, LiveMesh, Camtasia Studio, Zune and Jing. We use Astaro for our router and its VPN client is installed. All of this on a lowly Atom Processor based Netbook running Win7.
