    Note: Support for Microsoft Windows NT and Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional with SP2 and SP3 were removed as of the 7.0 release. Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition is not supported.

    Note: Rational Rose 7.0.0.1 interim fix 1 provides partial support for Windows Vista with the following limitations:
    • Rose Apex Add-In is not supported on Vista, as Rational Apex is not available for Vista.
    • Rose Data Modeler:  Oracle 9i is not supported on Vista and Rose does not formally support Oracle 10g.

      Workaround:  To work with Oracle database, install Oracle 10g client on Vista machine and Oracle 9i server on any other Windows XP machine.  You may then forward and reverse engineer using the Oracle database.
    • Rose Data Modeler:  Unable to install DB2 7.0 on Vista, therefore Rose Data Modeler does not support DB2 7.0 on Vista.
