OS and Aloha Enterprise Suite Compatibility
Windows 7, Server 2008, Embedded OS

Radiant Systems is pleased to announce support for 32 Bit Windows 7 Professional (W7) and Windows Server 2008 (SVR08) throughout the Aloha Enterprise Suite of Products. Additionally, some products will also support 64 Bit OS as noted in the chart below.

Due to Extended Support from Microsoft for several OS products expiring over the next few years, Radiant Systems is moving to replace XP Professional, XP Embedded, and Server 2003 offerings to maintain long product life cycles. Windows 7 and Server 2008 will be the OS of choice for BOH machines and Windows Embedded Standard (WES) and Windows Embedded POSReady 2009 (WEPR) will replace XP Pro and XPe on FOH terminals.

More information about Microsoft support policy can be found at on Microsoft’s website:
http://support.microsoft.com/lifecycle/

More information regarding Aloha installation with W7 and Server 2008 can be found on the Radiant Knowledge Base.
