I have a client who is curious about this.
I'm not sure if win 7 32 or 64 bit makes any difference.I have a client with Draw 12 wondering what will happen if they buy new laptop. Draw 12 works for their needs.Like many, they're concerned that they'll have to upgrade lots of other software also, potentially exceeding the 800.00 cost of the laptop/win 7 itself.
Windows 7, and any other operating system they create is a huge slutty from major producers of software, it seems,
gather in some secret place to conspire against us, the users.
Of course the news are welcome, but we do not have to throw out what we bought.
THIS IS THE SAME AS YOU BUY A NEW STOVE AND NEED TO REPLACE YOUR PANS! MAKES NO SENSE.
CorelDraw 12 is working fine with me on windows 7.
BR,

For what it's worth: I have on this machine (the one that is my main workstation), Windows 7 Professional, 32 bit. And I have installed and running the following versions of CorelDRAW Graphics Suites; Ver. 11, X3, X4 and X5. All of them play nicely and run without problems.
But, then again, I do not have Microsoft Office or other applications that are known to assume that the whole PC thing belongs only to that application and leaves little resources for anything else. I use my main workstation for CGS and vinyl/twill cutting. (Most of my Internet interfacing is done under Linux on another box.)
Well Hugh, you're my new hero. But first, to bolster the OP, I'm running Win7_64(Home) on a spanking new laptop and have (almost) successfully installed CGS12 on the little beastie. I say almost because I'm having an issue installing SP2. It seems to feel the original install didn't complete so it insists I repair the installation before it'll go forward. Believing it to be true, I uninstalled/reinstalled but no joy. One thing to look out for with 7 is that dialog boxes don't always float to the top, so there _was_ a hiccup with the first attempt to install and I think there might be a stub somewhere that's impeding the application of the Service Pack. I'll be posting that as a separate issue but, in the meantime, CGS12 placed itself in a 'Program Files (x86)' folder which apparently is the place all <64-bit apps go, and I've at least opened PP and Draw with no problems. I won't be doing any serious work until the patches are successfully installed, but I'm optimistic.
Now, back to fun stuff. I've shrunk the C: partition in anticipation of loading Slackware but cfdisk is getting cranky that there's something wrong with the 'Recovery' or 'HP Tools' partitions so _that_ needs to be addressed, but I'm excited about having a 64-bit Linux running on a GHz machine. I've got 3 other installations, ranging from a 200MHz PentiumPro to a 600MHz Thinkpad.
Ain't life grand,
Geoff.
