Windows 7 and ConsoleOne for GroupWise

Question

Scenario: GroupWise 703 on NetWare, ConsoleOne from GW 8 SP1 w/ GW 703 snapins, Windows 7 64bit w/ Novell client 2 sp1
Problem: When you connect to a domain in the GroupWise view, that wpdomain.db is opened on that server and does not show "locked". {This is the same as in XP} When you make a change to the GroupWise object, the change does not complete. In ConsoleOne Tools/GroupWise System Operations/Pending operations there is a pending op. If you try Retry, undo, etc you get a timeout hang - get a cup of coffee and come back. If you go to the server and clear the Win7 user, the user reconnects IMMEDIATELY but the wpdomain.db is no longer open. You can now retry the pending and it will process. {If I clear an XP user, the user stays cleared until that user does something on the server}
If you forget to "unlock - clear" the Win7 user, any/all other changes made by any ConsoleOne connected to that domain will be incomplete and in the pending list. Once you have cleared the Win7 user, you can "retry" each pending op and they will process.
Since the ONLY way to manage GroupWise is with ConsoleOne, Is there a reliable way to run it on Win7 or should I stay with XP?

You'll want to use the GW8 snapins, not the GW7 snapins. I doubt the
GW7 snapins have been tested with the new C1 included with GW8 on Win7.

You could always use XP Mode... that's what I do rather than run it on
Win7 natively.
