Will Crystal 8.0.1 run okay under Windows XP?

[jessicatx]

About to upgrade my pc to XP, but unsure if 8.0.1 will run okay under this OS. 8.0.1 is all that I have available now (supposedly, purchase of 10.0 is awaiting an OK from upper mgmt). Thanks in advance for any reply.

It ran fine for me.

Yuo can also get a 30 day trial version of CR 10 (which can coexist with CR 8) here:

You can also get upgrade pricing from 8.5, so make sure that you take advantage of this.

Thanks! Do I understand you correctly - that I cannot upgrade from 8.0, and need to go to 8.5 BEFORE the 10.0 can be applied? (or am I just misreading?)

I believe that the upgrade works fine for CR 8 as well, my apologies for any confusion.
