Operating System

BSI recommends Windows XP SP2 or SP3. Our own long term tests have repeatedly demonstrated that Windows XP SP2 and SP3 provide a solid, stable platform for BSI software (our in-house system has been running in excess of 500 days). Please see this important note regarding Microsoft Windows Vista 32bit or 64bit and Microsoft Windows 7 64bit which BSI DOES NOT recommend.
