There were some e-mails in the not too distant past that some people were have problems with Windows 7 and iSeries Access. For those that were having trouble did the issues get resolved? ÂI have not found anything official from IBM about compatibility with Windows 7. We have tested 5250 emulation and have not had any problems but we have not tested the full install of everything. Navigator being the piece I am most concerned with.

Main issue we have is the AFP driver, which does not work on x64
platforms. So we need to run this stuff in XP Mode.

Here's IBMs plan regarding Windows 7:

So there is an OS that has been available for since the beginning of
August, and it will take them until December to finally get their
software ready. Oh, and they plan to fix the AFP driver sometime in
2010.
