Guardian on Vista!
We've received a number of inquiries since Microsoft has released Vista, as to whether Guardian will run on it or not. The answer is YES, Guardian does run on Vista perfectly fine. As does the process sheet print utility, which also operates fine on the latest version of Excel 2007 by the way. So feel free to upgrade your Microsoft Office products if you're thinking of doing so - but be aware, there are some significant changes in the current version. While there are no Guardian related reasons to not upgrade to Vista, there are a few other reasons why you may want to wait. One reason is that this is the first release of a new operating system, bound to have a number of issues that need to be resolved - the first service pack from Microsoft is rumored to be scheduled for later this year, although Microsoft has yet to confirm a target date. Another reason is that many of the hardware vendors are still scurrying to develop Vista compatible drivers, including one that probably has the largest impact on the most number of users - HP, who is currently releasing their new printer drivers as they are completed. While Guardian is ready for Vista, there are other software packages that may not run on it - Microsoft has a compatibility tool that you can run that will tell you what applications are compatible and which need to be removed prior to upgrading. Another thing to be aware of before upgrading is that Vista has higher hardware requirements than XP did - so unless you have a PC that is relatively new AND has at least 1 GB of RAM and a video card, you're probably going to need to replace the PC before you can run Vista. Based on the articles I've read, the majority of business are waiting until next year to start rolling out Vista.

Back in 1987 we asked foundries what they really wanted from a software company. (The last thing they said was foundry software). It was a simple question, but what we learned has helped Establish Guardian as an industry leader. A software company capable of playing at a higher level. And why not? You deserve it.
