      Wow. I honestly assumed someone had posted this as a joke. Yes, Windows 7 means we need to rewrite all our programs in F#, and all our program windows will go a horrible shade of green. This is a dumb question. Why would Microsoft release a new platform on which our existing programs would not work ?

        Because they've done it six or seven times already?

          Really?!?!? I think they have a much better record at backward compatibility than, say, apple....

            That may or may not be the case, but it's certainly the case that some programs have certain compatibility issues with W7. In my case, Visual Studio 2008 is one of them. With UAC enabled I cannot launch it as Administrator (i.e. with Administrator as the process identity, as opposed to simply launching it while being logged on as Administrator). To log on to IIS locally I must run it as Administrator, so I eventually had to disable UAC after finding that no compatibility modes made any difference. That in turn led to some programs no longer finding the correct data that had been saved per-user, although I don't really understand *why* that happened (since I do not run these other programs using the admin as process identity). SQL Server Management Studio express also refuses to install, and I get messages that warn me "this program has known compatibility issues" so presumably MS is well aware of the problem(s) with it. Otherwise the dev tools have worked fine and my code works fine, or at least no worse than on other platforms :), although Edit-and-continue is not supported for 64-bit apps - but that was probably the same on XP/Vista in 64-bit editions.

              mm.... ok, maybe there are a few compatibility problem after all.... but I managed to swim around them gracefully, so I kind of forget about them! and I also wonder why there is no edit and continue in 64bit mode?! but ha well, I'm not too miffed, as I still remember the printf debugging experience not so long ago!

                The reality is, no software manufacturer has a good record of backward compatibility :-(
