Will IBM/Lotus upgrade Smartsuite 9.8.x? 1

For Advantage Plus subscribers and those who bought their software at the IBM site, the suite has been upgraded to version 9.8.6. Mass market users of Smartsuite can access fixpack 2 to update their product to 9.8.2.
Questions about Vista/Windows 7 compatibility are usually passed on by word of mouth these days because IBM will not officially certify that the programs work on the Microsoft OS. Of course, if you are successfully running 9.8.x on your Vista (32/64-bit)system, it is highly likely that it will also work on Windows 7.0 since the two OS's share the same source code and "Windows 7" is just the generic name for the base system that runs Vista. By all means, check the Lotus Smartuite Forum:
for some really interesting talk about this matter. It is said that Smartsuite is in its maintenance mode, a time when few features need to be added or patches released. As I said, the last fix pack for SmartSuite updated the code to 9.8.6 and the current version of Organizer has only recently been upgraded to v. 6.1. For a program that was provided at v. 5.0 in the original suite, I think it indicates that IBM/Lotus is still very active in updating their home/office products (even though Organizer is also a big business app.).
I hope that helps
