Help, WIN 7, work platform, DOWNLOAD FOR ME? TEST?

Jul 9, 2010 1:11PM PDT

Oh, wow,.. Im in trouble. I need to buy a new laptop, and my IT department tells me my work platform will not work on Win 7. I really am begging someone to either tell me where I can go to test one out for myself, or if someone out here is will to try it for me on their win 7? I work for the largest transcription company in the world, and this is an internet based program, easy to put on and take off, but if not, is there ANYWHERE, any store, any place, where I could go test this out? Tnx..

We can't do that.

We can't test systems for you in these forums.

What do you mean by a "work platform"? Is that software, hardware, or a mixture of both? Does it have a name?

What does your IT department or your line manager say about this? If this work is for your company, then maybe the company can supply you with a system that works?

The other suggestion is good. Win 7 professional or Ultimate offers an XP Mode that you can install for free. But it is not guaranteed to work every time.
