I'm running it on my RTM copy of Windows 7 right now. I would assume the 4.5 version runs as well, however the newly redesigned 4.6+ agent does not work at all. That is very disappointing to hear that they don't expect the product to fully support it until 2010, considering the great lengths Microsoft went to make sure access to the beta and release candidate was open to anyone. Considering Cisco's stature, I'm sure they had access to all of the development builds in between. Even the first public beta of Windows 7 was stable enough to begin testing and there seems like there should be little reason why Cisco NAC shouldn't fully support this new operating system within a few days of it being released to the public in October. In a business environment, it's probably not an issue since most companies won't be upgrading straight away. But considering the amount of education users and where this product started, you'd think they'd have figured out they need to be a step ahead of the game by now. But that would require them to take this product seriously again.

I'm predicting dozens if not more students who will be running the beta or release candidate version when they arrive here next month. John Rocchio UC Santa Cruz
