    • Just a simple question (sic)  Is CS4 Web Premium compatible with Windows 7?  If not, when?  If so, what restrictions?

      Is there a blog/portal that discusses this issue?

    • Complete system requirements for web premium are located at http://www.adobe.com/products/creativesuite/web/systemreqs/

    • yeah, I read that before posting the question.  Obviously the documentation posted a year ago does not shead much light on Windows 7.  I was hoping that someone on the inside could provide more light on a very dark hole at Adobe.  Windows 7 and the 64 bit enviornment is soon to be the "standard."... With Photoshop being SOOO memory hungry...the 64 bit memory space is almost mandatory if you want to run other applications (like Lightroom, Corel Painter, etc....I did look for more information on Windows 7 at Adobe...Try that query for yourself.  Absolute zippo...Nada...nothing.   So, I guess from your reply the answer is...No, and no insight as to when there will be a better answer.

       

      Cheers

    • oops - sorry. I've been heads down in MAX, and didn't think before I answered.

      Windows 7 doesn't release until October 22nd. Obviously we're aware of this, and are testing with it. But until Microsoft releases, we won't have an official answer. That may seem like a cagey answer, but keep in mind that Microsoft has already changed the release plan several times.

      So to clearly answer your questions:

      • Is CS4 Web Premium compatible with Windows 7? We won't have an official answer until we know for sure what Microsoft is going to release. 
      • If not, when? No official answer until there's something to officially discuss. 
      • If so, what restrictions? Likewise - when Windows 7 ships, we'll know.
      • Is there a blog/portal that discusses this issue? Right now, not that I'm aware of. But Adobe will release a press announcement when we know for sure.
