ATTENTION NORFOLK STATE
UNIVERSITY FACULTY AND STAFF
The Office of Information Technology
(OIT) is very excited about the recent release of
Windows 7 and we are committed to the future
adoption of this new release as our operating system
standard. Accordingly, OIT has recently begun
testing Windows 7. While the testing is in its
initial phase, the results thus far yield the
following:
-
Compatibility issues with various supported desktop
applications -
Compatibility issues with various supported hardware
-
Non-availability of printer drivers for use in many
printers in operation campus-wide
For these reasons, and until further testing can be
completed, Windows 7 is not supported at this time.
OIT will continue its testing of Windows 7, and will
soon begin Windows 7 training for our staff so that
we will be able to provide excellent customer
service on this release in the future.
Additionally, we would like to remind the campus
community that Windows XP currently remains as the
standard operating system on the various hardware
and software platforms here at NSU. We ask that you
please keep this in mind when making desktop and
laptop purchases. We will provide periodic updates
of our testing efforts on this site to keep you
abreast of our progress.
We look forward to supporting the new technologies
and we appreciate your patience as we make continued
progress in our testing.
