OK, I'll bite. This is very confusing at best. If you have XP (like me) it is very clear what is the minimum. However, if you are running Vista or Windows 7, it does look as though you require the 64bit version.

I keep reading the heading - it says 'minimum', and then the line below which says 'Windows Vista/Windows 7 (64bit)'.

How from those two bits of information would you draw the conclusion that 32bit is OK for Vista or Windows 7?

As I understand it the second "minimum" is a typo and should have been "recommended" but why it has not been corrected I do not know.

Hi all
We apologise for the confusion here. I'm not sure why this wasn't discovered earlier. However, I will pass it on to the admin tomorrow when I speak to him so as to get it sorted.

The second 'minimum' should be 'recommended', as per the shop's TS2010:EE page.

Thank you for reporting this to us.

It was.

I read it as the top one for 32 bit, which would mean both Vista and Win7 32bit are above minimum, that being XP sp3, and the bottom specs for 64 bit, therefore both sets of specs are required minimum

Cheers David

Edit,

The second 'minimum' should be 'recommended', as per the shop's TS2010:EE page.

Zec, the specs I gave were copied and pasted from the TS2010:EE shop page
