I am not one to spread rumors, but I thought I might pass this little one along to see if anyone has any experience that could confirm it. Anyway, my little rumor is…
Initial tests running the Business Objects XI R2 (BOXI R2 or XIR2) web client through Internet Explorer 8 have failed miserably. Reports are that it is unusable. Unfortunately, my sources haven’t told me whether this applies to InfoView, WebI Report Reader, or Web Intelligence Java Report Panel.
If you have any experience with Windows 7 and Business Objects, please leave a comment. The more information we have the better.
Be Prepared – Windows 7 is Just Around the Corner
IF this is true, then BO administrators need to know as soon as possible. Microsoft has already put Windows 7 in release candidate status (link) and so we can assume that it could release as early as October or November 2009 and shipping simultaneously on new PCs.

Hi, I had tried to install Business Objects XI R1 on Windows 7.0 evaluation version; SQL server 2005 developer edition. CMS is not getting installed, and after the successful installation of Business Objects. I can not log in CMS; so CMS setup is not geting completed and also I can not use the Business Objects.

Hi, after struggling with Vista for a year I finally migrated to Windows 7.
Windows 7 with IE8 is not the answer for BOXI 3.0 either.
CMC runs fine but when I login to InfoView and try to open Document list IE just dies – all opened session are hanging up and I have to stop IE from Task Manager.
Last week, straight after fresh Windows 7 install it was fine but after applying more than 30 Windows patches it stopped working.

Sorry to hear that!
Do you know if Mozilla FireFox can save your situation now?
