Note: Other versions of Microsoft Windows Vista might work with SAS® Enterprise Guide®, but have not been fully tested and, therefore, are not supported by SAS.

Microsoft Internet Explorer 8 or earlier.
Other Internet Browsers might work, but have not been fully tested and, therefore, are not supported by SAS.
