How reliable is the compatibility with Windows?

Hi, I'm strongly considering getting a Macbook Pro for college this fall, however Im concerned with how well Windows software will work with a Boot Camp Windows. I'll be using programs such as RoboLab, MLCAD, AutoCAD, Lab View, MS Word, MS Visual Studio, and PowerPoint. But if any of these programs fail to run on my Macbook, I'll have a rough time getting by without it.
So if anyone can tell me if these types of programs will run smoothly on a Macbook, or what I would have to do to make them run smoothly, or whether they would work at all, Id greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

From the install guide.
Boot Camp Beta is preview software licensed for use on a trial basis for a limited time. Do not use Boot Camp Beta in a commercial operating environment or with important data. You should back up all of your data before installing this software and regularly back up data while using the software.
Boot Camp has for me worked fine, but it is beta software and I would not recommend it for any mission critical work at this point.

How far is the compatibility with PowerPoint and Keynote '09?

Hello everyone
I love making presentations and strangely while I'm an Apple fan the only thing I still didn't convert to is iWork
Keynote is the best presentation tool I ever saw. The problem is with playing the presentations in college or anywhere else.
I know that keynote is compatible with PowerPoint, but how far?
Will the beautiful transitions and animations on keynote work on PowerPoint? Alongside with the beautiful graphics, charts and backgrounds?
Thanks

I would say the compatibility is "just good enough". If you NEED to use it you will, but you don't want to ever NEED it.
You shoud think of the compatibility as being like trying to playback high resolution, color, widescreen, Dolby stereo content on a small black and white mono tv. There are some things that old telly just won't be capable of. Sure, you can see the motion and hear something, but you're ultimately limited by what you use to PLAYBACK the content, not what you used to CREATE it.
Because Keynote has features that PowerPoint doesn't, PowerPoint will never be able to playback exactly what you see in Keynote. The reverse is true as well.

How do solve the compatibility between windows and itunes?

I can not sign out of itunes from the library.. I click store tab in the library the sign out. the tab turns black and freezes up. I have to shut down and restart .

A picture would be very helpful in demonstrating what you are having trouble with.
Lacking that, I will guess.
VI Properties >>> Windows Size
lets you define the minimum size of a FP window.
Well that's my guess!
Did I win?

How to judge the compatibility without product details or reviews which can be taken as a reference ?

Firstly I want to congratulate myself to open my own working studio. As we are about to start business from the beginning of the next year, we are busy with purchasing equipment and gadgets these days. I have ordered almost at the same time a
usb hub and a PC with Windows 8.1 . But I search the product page without enough information , I wonder if anybody can recommend me any good ways to judge the compatibility with Windows 8.1 ? The hub details please refer to
Hurry . please！

Hi
Good luck with the new business
if you prefer about compatibility, better support and aftersales service and price. I suggest you buy OEM device and gadget since most of them already tested in their factory (Hardware, software and OS).
That's my suggestion

2) It would be equally helpful if there was something that would take the name of the picture file and spotlight comment, copy and paste it to a movie file's comments with the same name but obviously has different extention. For an example
In a Pictures folder

In a Movie Folder
Name: Dark Knight, The.m4v       Comment:                                               <- paste
and do this for all 700 files
This Bash script will do it.
Edit "PicDir" and "MovDir" to the location of your Folders
(Note: The comment is written to the m4v file using xattr, so the Spotlight comment field appears blank in Finder, but the comment metadata is still indexed by Spotlight (If you add a Spotlight comment from Finder, it is stored both as an extended attribute and in a .DS_Store file)
#!/bin/bash
PicDir=$HOME/Desktop/Pictures
MovDir=$HOME/Desktop/Movies
for f in $PicDir/*
do
     if [ ! -d "$f" -a "${f##*.}" == "jpeg" ]; then
          comment=$(mdls -raw -name kMDItemFinderComment "$f")

How do I download an older version of PS that is compatable with Windows Vista

I need a version of Photshop that is compatable with windows Vista this is the message that pops up You are running an operating system that Photoshop no longer supports. Refer to the system requirements for a full list of supported platforms.

I believe CS6 will run on vista but your Display Adapter GPU may no be supported. So features the require a GPU like 3d will not be available. Older version of Photoshop are no longer marketed so you would need to find an old retail version to get a licence. Downloads will only work as a trial for 30 Days.

You also need to be careful when buying old outdated software. There are many selling software that is not legal copies of Adobe software be warned.

SQL Server Express compatibility with Windows 8.1 - Which version(s) are compatible?

We have purchased a new computer that has Win 8.1 Pro. We are migrating an application from a Win 7 Pro machine we are currently successfully using (the vendor migrates it for us) and they have said that the application will require the installation of SQL
Server 2008 Express (which we do have on our Win 7 machine).
In looking at the requirements for SQL Server 2008 Express (on the download page for it), it does not mention it being compatible with Win 8.1
In addition, Installation Instructions says that it requires:
Microsoft .Net Framework 3.5 SP1
Windows Installer 4.5.
Windows PowerShell 1.0
I see that 3.5 is already listed as a program feature of Win8.1 and I've enabled it. Do I need to install SP1? I downloaded it, and launched it, and nothing happened.
I also looked at the Windows Installer 4.5 download page, and it's not clear if that is compatible with 8.1. Do I need to download and install it?
Power Shell 2.0 is already installed. I assume that will be backwards compatible with PowerShell 1.0; is that correct?
I saw another question about SQL Server Express Compatibility with Win 8.1 (http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/038ec00e-4fc1-41ba-9fdc-21c022aad67e/action?threadDisplayName=sql-server-express-compatibility-with-windows-81) and the response
said that SQL Server Express 2012 will work, but the link contained in the answer led to a page for SQL Server Express 2014.
My vendor has told me that SQL SERver Express 2012 will be backwards compatible with their product. But they said that I would first have to install 2008 first. Is that correct for Win 8.1?
So, the ultimate questions are:
1. What is the link for Sql Server 2012 Express for Win 8.1?
2. Will the SQL Server 2012 Express download require prior install of the 2008 version
3. What other component requirements are required for SQL Server 2012 Express, and how can I determine if they have already been installed. (This is a brand new computer with a clean Win8.1 Install).
4. Finally, can we use the 2014 version of SQL Server Express for Win 8.1? If so, questions 1, 2 and 3 apply, too.
Thanks for your help on this!! HIGH ANXIETY.

Usb port not compatable with windows 8

I have a usb port to download called, CareLink for Medtronic, that will not work with windows 8. What can I do ? I really need this for my husband to use with his insulin pump. The company is waiting on approval from FDA to get approved for windows 8.

Do you mean it is a device that plugs into one of the usb ports of the computer? And there is no driver for Windows 8?
Here is a page I found showing how to download drivers for Windows 7 and Vista. In the vast majority of cases Windows 7 drivers will work with Windows 8 as long as the driver install program is set to run in Windows 7 compatibility mode.
http://carelink.minimed.com/html/en/US/help/index.html?v477122.htm
Try running the installation in Windows 8. It will likely fail but do not despair. Note where the installation files have been unzipped onto the hard drive. Go into the file where the installation software has been stored. It is likely in a folder in the program files. Open the folder and look for an installation program (.exe). It is likely called setup.exe. Right click on it and choose properties and then compatibility and set the compatibility to Windows 7. You might also need to set it to run as administrator. Once you have it set that way, try running it again by just double clicking setup.exe.
This link also claims to have Windows 8 drivers:

Is PE7 compatable with windows 7 64bit?

are there any versions of Adobe Premiere Elements besides PE8 that are compatable with Windows 7 64bit? I have heard of lots of problems with PE8 and I would prefer using PE7 if possible. Actually I use PE3 with XP home 32 bit and love and don't really want to upgrade but it seems like i might have to. thanks

i downloaded the PE8 trial and have worked with it for a couple of hours and had only one glitch so far. while capturing it froze after about 10 minutes, i had to capture the rest and splice it in. i added some titles and a 2nd audio track that was mono and used audio effects to copy left track to right track, i faded in video and audio and so far everything seems to be working fine.
i have an intel MB D975XBX2
dual core processor,
4 gigs of RAM
win7 pro 64bit
it's taking a little getting used to but probably not as hard as trying to learn a whole other program like sony studio for example. i've got 30 days and i'll keep using it and see how it goes but so far, so good.

Does HP have updated software & drivers available & compatable with windows 10

Up graded my HP Pavillion 17z f100 CTO energy star to windows 10 a few days back and not more than 2 hours later I was infected with crossbrowse & one other browser hijacker (something like infinity )along with a host of other bundled up malware and adware - Took several hours to un-install & clean up those Pernicious Kinits and I'm still not certain if a few of them aren't lurk'en in the creases - Niether MS Defender nor any of their various virus scans even detected the obvious malware so I pulled & ran a few malware links off the MS forums page - they did help but like I said I'm still a bit hinky about how thourough they were Then today I visited HP's support page to make sure I was runn'en the most current and appropriate software and drivers compatable with Windows 10 - yet when I went to up-date them I was not given the option to choose win10 as my OS only 8.1 so I opted to pass until I investigated further - I have 2 actually 3 questions for all my HP heroes out there who have been of such tremendous help in the past - 1 ) Does HP even have new software & driver updates available and designed for compatability with win10 and if so why do you suppose they were not available to me on the support site - woulda thought HP would have had them ready for the release - 2 ) Has anyone even heard of any current Malware removers that are effective with win 10 3 ) I fear that I may have pulled the trigger to quickly by installing win 10 before taking a few temperture readings first - So honestly would you all advise that I revert back to 8.1 for a few months until the bugs are worked out of the new operating system or is confidence in the rapid success of win10 high enough that it might warrant stick'en it out - I know alot of you have been runn'en the preview versions for some months now & I do trust your opinions and follow your advice - Once again I thank you for your time and consideration an shall look forward to your responses - Paintbrush -

The only solution for the officejet 4315v is the in-OS driver in WIndows 7, there is no full feature software availible for this printer in that OS.

Is adobe photoshop cs2 compatable with windows 8?

Is adobe photoshop CS2 compatable with windows 8?

I have removed and re-installed CS2 twice now and still get the same library application error.
DO NOT INSTALL WINDOWS 8 ONTO YOUR COMPUTER IF YOU WANT TO KEEP CS2!
Telling us to spend more money to upgrade our software to meet OS does not show trust to the users. CS2 should be able to work with new OS systems and if not users should be allowed to update their current program for free to be able to use it on the new OS.
Thank you,
Eric

How do I install itunes with Windows 7?

how do I install itunes with Windows 7? I always get a Windows Installer error or administrator error __

Have tried: download but do not install iTunes, then turn off virus protection and firewall, restart computer, login as admin, then run the iTunes insallation. After it installs, restart virus protection and firewall and logout and back in as standard user.
Windows leaves installers running or still resident which conflict with the iTunes installer.

How reliable is the compatibility with Windows?
