I am considering upgrading to windows 7 from XP. Has anyone done this and had any issues running revit? The hardware specs on my machine will meet all of the recommendations from Autodesk, but their website still does not mention anything about windows 7.

Well, even though autodesk its not yet supporting it, I have switched to windows 7, 64 bit. although i have had a bunch of bluescreens already, only 1 of them is related to revit; it happened during a quick render. I also had a compatibility issue that windows self-repaired that was caused by dragging some tools over to the secondary monitor. Has anyone had this render issue? how many people are even using windows 7 yet?

I am running RAC 2010 with Windows 7 Pro 32-Bit. It runs just the same as it does on Vista. I have had 2 issues (Neither of which I think are unique to Windows 7) 1. I can't use my secondary monitor, as when I drag the Project browser to the second screen it starts to play havoc with the menu's -it's difficult to describe the exact problem, but Autodesk's solution is to say don't drag the project browser to the secondary screen :-( 2. Certain files will crash windows explorer when you click on them (this does not happen from within revit, but when using windows explorer if you simply 'select' certain family files windows explorer will crash). I'm not certain that this is unique to windows 7, just as I am not sure that this is unique to RAC 2010. Otherwise all seem to run fine. No bluescreens and no render issues.

Revit works great on windows 7 x64. Have been doing so since the release of Windows 7 RC1. We've just upgrade every single workstation in our office to windows 7 x64.

Likewise, my office upgraded every computer in the office to 64 bit windows 7, and Revit 2010 has been the ONLY stress-free installation. Creating a deployment from the server didn't have any hiccups on any machine, which can't be said for autocad, or Adobe CS, or norton... No crashes yet, but the win7 GUI makes me about as furious as the revit 2010 interface changes, it's like a conspiracy against intuition... but the speed of our new machines balances out the experience toward positive.

@GlobalDS windows explorer>tools>folder options>view>check always show icons, never thumbnails. hit apply to folders. No explorer crash, because explorer is trying to create icons from the file content. there must be other way for sure, that's the easy one, worked for me after 1 week of pain. :D you have third party software to preview pictures, eh. Running windows7 x64 and RAC 2010 on a quad core makes ONLY rendering faster, not de design process, that's what i saw. from what i know you can have a simple dual core with 3.2 GHz / each and you'll design faster, but slow rendering comparing to a quadcore 2.5 GHz / each proc.you choose what your needs are. the last thing, Revit 2010 is compatible with theme aero.
