You probably have a Win 10 (or Win 8 ) system, so it's easy to take that position. Win 7 is still quite popular among Audio people, many of whom are not like gamers, that buy a new computer every year, but rather invest the money in new plugins and hardware and maintain their working environment over years.robotmonkey wrote: ↑Tue Nov 05, 2019 6:01 amWindows 7 will be generally out of support beginning next year. So it's kind of makes sense. Many other developers have dropped support for Windows 7 for quite some time ago.liquid light wrote: ↑Tue Nov 05, 2019 2:18 am Had everything running great on Windows 7 these last few years with Waves...... now Waves 11 right after putting out 10... but now no support for Windows 7 with version 11???????? What gives man????? Not cool!!!!!!!
Regardless whether you are personally a current Win 7 user or not - you should be able to understand that essentially showing the middle-finger to those users who have maintained their Windows 7 setup fully functional over many years, is not considered best practice in terms of user relations.
By the way: just a week ago I saw a documentary about a neurosurgeon working in a modern facility in Germany and his operating theater involved a machine that did run Windows XP. Clearly, there is no actual reason to go Win 10, unless you are one of these poor souls who easily fall prey to the marketing endeavours of corporations like Microsoft.
With that being said: has someone checked whether V11 plugins run on Windows 7, even if Waves have stopped supporting it?
