Any development issues using Windows7 64-Bit OS?

Hi SF Team,

I am looking to replace my XP (32-Bit) development machine with Windows7 (64-Bit).  Before I do, I just want to know if there are any issues I need to be aware of when developing on the 64-Bit platform and deploying to XP 32-Bit platforms?

Or do you have any recommendations about what I should get for a new system?

Thanks,

Jeff

We run both Vista 64 and Win7 64 with no issues, the only thing I remember is when using certain ODBC drivers you have to "run as administrator" and you also have to start compiling your assemblies specifically for 32-bit but other than that, no problems here.

Hi Keith,

It is good to hear.  I have been to wanting to move to Vista/Windows7 for sometime now.

Thanks for the feedback.

Yep, Steve in our office is on a Windows 7, 64-bit box with no issues. We'll be replacing the rest as we go along here.
