Mathematica 7

[Deathsink]

Does anyone know if Mathematica is known to work on Windows 7?

If that's the Wolfram Mathematica it supports both 32bti and 64bit Vista and Server 2008 application. Mathematica 7 Platform Availability

Any programs that will generally run on Vista shouldn't have any problems on 7 since the compatibility issues are far removed between the two. In fact I manage to get XP programs on 7 here that actually won't even install on Vista but run well on 7.

Thanks for your comments, but I still wonder if anyone has actually installed it and worked with it on Windows 7 with little or no problems.

I am indeed talking about Wolfram Mathematica 7, which works totally fine on my Windows Vista 64bit machine.

I haven't run that software. But I'm seeing any reason it wouldn't go right on the 64bit 7 even if you have to use the compatibility mode or troubleshoot compatibility options when right clicking on the installer's executable.

Here I put quite a bit of XP programs on 7 so far for the x86 platform showing 7's backward capabilities are improved over Vista. At this time the option of going for the RC or gambling on some leak to see how it will work out would be one option. If you decide on any leak stay with the 64bit 7077 for the time being.

I have installed Mathematica 7 - it works no problems at all. I have Windows 7 RC1 (Build 7100) on IBM T43 Thinkpad (2 GHz Pentium M + 2 GB RAM).

Is that the 32bit or 64bit RC you have on there?

I had several rc and post-rc builds, all 64-bit, all without any problems with Mathematica 7 (though I could have been lucky)

I'm sure that with the $295- price tag seen for the home edition alone you want it to run on whichever build you have on at the time. With it simply going on without fuss or need for the compatibility mode or troubleshoot compatibility option now seen in the right click menu you are relieved at that.

32-bit.

32-bit.

Too bad you didn't have the 64bit RC on as well. Then you could let Deathsink know how it turned out when tried there!

The 64bit 7 also offers some great 32bit emulation. At times however you may end up needing to go with a newer version of the same softwares when some simply won't install or run once on. Check out the sticky on retail softwares found to be 7 compatible. http://www.sevenforums.com/software/1779-paid-software-windows-7-compatible.html

Wish I could... Me aulde notebooke is 32 bit...

Maybe you'll be fortunate enough to see a few x64 updates once 7 is out. That's been the case too often where the new version is out and then the drivers finally show up sometime later!
