Windows 7
Computer Services Support Policy
In the I.T. Industry, there is genuine excitement about
Microsoft’s new operating system, Windows 7. All early indications
are that the new operating system will be a substantial improvement over
previous releases. Computer Services is testing the application
currently, as are many of our software vendors. In a healthcare
environment, it is critical that software behave exactly as expected.
Although Windows 7 has been released to the general public, Computer Services
is not currently providing upgrades to Windows 7 and will
not support problem issues with systems utilizing Windows 7 until
testing has been completed and compatibility issues resolved for LSUHSC-S
supported applications. In addition to our internal testing, we rely
heavily on our software partners (Eclipsys, GE, Siemens, etc) to test their
applications. This process can take several months, but we will keep you
apprised of the process.
Computer Services makes every effort to inform LSUHSC-S staff. However, we
may not reach every individual. Therefore, we ask for your assistance in
disseminating Windows 7 Support Policy information to staff within your
department or additional departments, as appropriate.
