Windows 7 Compatible with SAP Business One

Windows 7 is compatible with SAP Business One 2007 and SAP Business One 8.8

Now that windows 7 has been released and all signs are pointing towards a migration away from windows XP, a number of questions arise for business users.

Do all my other applications I depend on work on Windows 7?
Will the performance of my applications be affected?

For everyone running SAP Business One, we can answer both of these critical questions.

Does SAP Business One run in Windows 7?  YES

Does SAP Business One performance improve with Windows 7?  YES

There are also many new features of Windows 7 that will make using business applications, such as SAP Business One and Crystal Reports, more user friendly.

One of the cool little aspects of Windows 7 that will make using SAP Business One even easier to use:

For those of you who frequently have multiple windows of SBO open, Windows 7 offers an enhanced taskbar that makes managing open windows much simpler. In the new taskbar when you mouse over the SAP Icon you will see a thumbnail of each open window of SAP and can easily select which company to start working in, making multiple company management a breeze.

In short Windows 7 has proved a robust and seamless upgrade that has passed Orchestra’s SAP Business One stress test with flying colors and I would recommend anyone who is interested in upgrading to do so.

NOTE:  SAP does not yet support Windows 7 as an operating system for SAP Business One.  At this time, it apears it will be supported some time in Q1 2010.
