Greetings,
Our shop has finally reached the point where the old laptops are on their last leg (and standing on the dirt mound next to the grave).
Picked up a couple of Dells 5510's with Windows 7 and a built in serial port. So far, so good working with the 5000's. No issues so far with the Axxess systems we have tried, but haven't been into any pre 8.0 systems or an old Axxent.
Any issues with Windows 7 and / or IE 8 that would be good to know about from your school of hard knocks? Advice, suggestions, warnings?
Thanks in advance for the wisdom.

You might want to look at a virtual machine. I had good results using VMware. I have an XP virtual machine I use on my Windows 7 laptop for db studio 6. The only trouble I had was getting the modem to work, and that only took an old smartmodem disk to rectify. I think you can use a trial of VMWare to set up a VM, then run it with the free VMWare Player.
Probably Oracle/Sun's VirtualBox would work OK, too. It's also free. I use it a lot, just haven't set up db studio on it.
VM's are really handy - it's like having an entire computer in a window.
