Title: Viewables are NOT Windows 7 Compatible
Review: A completed Smead Viewables filing system IS fantastically efficient. My gripe is with Smead's present prices for obsolete software products. Buyers beware: 1) Smead's Hanging Folder Software and their File Folder Software are two separate products, each cost about $20 or higher. Neither are Win 7 compatible as of 23 Feb 2010.Why should anyone pay full price for obsolete programs? Seems like questionable business ethics to me.Further, why should one need to buy two separate programs - one for Hanging Files and another for File Folders? Seems stingy, shortsighted thinking to me.One combined FREE download of these obsolete programs would generate continued file & folder product sales to both new users and those existing users who swap PCs (keeping operating systems pre-Windows 7). In fairness, Smead does allow users free downloads of even older versions (IE obsolete) than the Version 4 now on store shelves. SM writing from USA.
