− | Currently [[RadiMation]] is '''NOT''' yet officially supporting the [[wikipedia:Microsoft|Microsoft]] [[wikipedia:Windows Vista|Windows Vista]]® operating system.
| + | [[RadiMation]] is '''NOT''' supported on the [[wikipedia:Microsoft|Microsoft]] [[wikipedia:Windows Vista|Windows Vista]]® operating system. |
| | | |
− | The reason that Microsoft Windows Vista® is not supported is that the Microsoft tools used to develop RadiMation are not supported by Microsoft Windows Vista®.
| + | {{RadiMation}} will not run correctly on Windows Vista anymore, because the Microsoft development tools of Microsoft that are used, do not support Microsoft Windows Vista® anymore. |
− | | |
− | We will do our very best to get RadiMation working under Microsoft Windows Vista®.
| |
− | There are already some tests running at selected customers, to test if RadiMation is correctly working on Microsoft Windows Vista®.
| |
− | However it will take some time to get determine if no problems are occurring.
| |
− | | |
− | Getting RadiMation to work under Vista® means rewriting the code so that it runs with a different development environment; but also changing our testing procedures and test programs to ensure that we maintain the same level of quality that we have today.
| |
− | | |
− | Converting and ensuring quality will consume a lot of time, because RadiMation is too big and complex for an automated convert tool to understand. This requires that a lot of conversions have to be done manually, to ensure the quality of the source code, and this will take up our resources.

− | = General statement =
| |
− | Running RadiMation under Microsoft Windows Vista is not yet fully tested and there could be some smaller problems, there for you run RadiMation at your own risk.
| |
− | | |
− | We will continue to test RadiMation in combination with GPIB controlled equipment. We are preparing a Microsoft Windows Vista PC, including a GPIB board, and that PC will be used at D.A.R.E!! Consultancy for performing EMC tests.
| |
− | | |
− | No official support for RadiMation running under Microsoft Windows Vista is currently supplied. We are however supplying support to selected customers, which cooperate to test RadiMation on Microsoft Windows Vista.
| |
− | If you also want to cooperate in testing RadiMation on Microsoft Windows Vista, please contact {{MailSupport}}.
| |
− | If we (in the future) decide that we will support RadiMation on Microsoft Windows Vista, we will only support Microsoft Windows Vista Service Pack 1. Versions of Microsoft Windows Vista, before Service Pack 1 will not be supported.
