SAS 9.1.3 Support for Microsoft Windows Vista^TM

General availability of Microsoft Windows Vista has generated many requests from existing SAS customers for support of this operating system. SAS is now announcing support of Microsoft Vista for some of our 9.1.3 SP4 products.

• Starting in July 2007, Microsoft Windows Vista is supported with SAS 9.1.3 SP4 for an identified set of products.
  
  
• SAS 9.1.3 SP4 supports 3 of the 5 Windows Vista editions for 32-bit editions only. The following versions are targeted at the business market:
  • Windows Vista Business
  • Windows Vista Enterprise - available only to Microsoft Enterprise Agreement customers
  • Windows Vista Ultimate
  
  
  
• SAS 9.1.3 SP4 does NOT support the editions targeted at the consumer market. These editions include Windows Vista Home Premium and Windows Vista Home Basic.
  
  
• SAS 9.1.3 SP4 products support the three 32-bit versions of Windows Vista that are targeted at the business market. SAS 9.1.3.SP4 does not support Windows Vista 64-bit editions at this time. More information on Windows Vista 64-bit editions can be found here support.microsoft.com/kb/932795/en-us
  
  
• There are significant hardware requirements to run Windows Vista.
  • The general recommendation is to deploy Windows Vista on only new personal computers, since older hardware lacks the power to take advantage of the operating system.
  • Machines that carry the "Windows Vista Capable" label can use basic Vista features such as User Account Control and search, but not the new Aero interface.
  • Windows Vista Premium Ready machines are capable of using all of Vista's features.
  
  
  
• Internet Explorer 7, the default Web browser for Vista, is supported.
  • The SAS Windowing Environment, also known as Display Manager, uses IE 7 to display Output Delivery System output (ODS). ODS utilizes IE 7 Active X control in rendering HTML.
    
    
  • At this time, IE 7 rendering is not supported for the Information Delivery Portal, Web Report Studio, SAS OLAP Viewer for Java or any SAS solutions.
