Sonar 8 on Windows 7 - Yay or Nay?
Anyone tried even if not officially supported?
Is W7 even available anymore?
 
As a download if possible?
Best place to buy online?
What were you doing on the morning of the 27th? 
Did Han shot first?
 
I'm unarchiving projects, it seems that I thought my relationship with Cakewalk would go on forever -  I have quite a few .cwb... :s I guess I could buy X3, but since I'm only trying to retrieve some files...
 
Sonar 9, for Mac and PC - rolls off the tongue nicely, doesn't it... sigh.
 
 
 
 

Sonar 8 should work on Win7.  I know several folks who use 8.5 on win7.  I can't specifically recall anyone using 8, but it should work fine. 
 
win7 should be available still.  it's still in full support from MS.

Thanks, Beagle! :)

 
Krist, I can confirm that SONAR 8 (both 32 bit and 64 bit versions) works absolutely fine on my Windows 7 (64bit) PC.
 
 

 
Actually, just to add (and one reason I'm reticent about migrating to Windows 8) - all my older Cakewalk software runs flawlessly on Win 7 - even as far back as Guitar Tracks 2 which was released over 10 years ago, and Music Creator 24 (2004).
 
Thinking about it, on my previous 32bit Vista machine, I had all my older products installed and running, but a few of them (GTPro3 and earlier) would only play nice if I ran them in Compatibility Mode (for Win XP).
 
I don't need to run any of them in Compatibility Mode in Windows 7, which seems to be much more forgiving than Vista was on older software.
 
 

Krist comes home.
 
They all do eventually.

 
Resistance is futile.

I think I am going to ask bapu to unarchive my .cwbs so he can pay off his X3 upgrade. Unless Steve will do it cheaper.

Rain,
I am still using an older Q6600 PC.  It was running under XP.  When I upgraded to X2, Windows XP was no longer supported.  I had to also upgrade my OS.  I opted to move to Windows 8.  Long story short, I still can't get the hang of X2 and find myself getting frustrated every time I try to use it.  So, for now, my goto version of Sonar is 8.5.3 and it's working great under W8.
 
Regards,
Rich

...and yes, Han did shoot first.
