Blackboard and Vista Operating System Update

As of April 3, 2007 the following statement was issued by Blackboard: "Blackboard has tested Release 7 of the Blackboard Academic Suite with Microsoft Windows Vista using both the Microsoft Internet Explorer version 7.0 Web Browser and the FireFox 2.0 Web Browser. The results of the testing show that Microsoft Windows Vista is compatible."

Additionally, after more discussion with the Technical Service Managers at Blackboard, because of Vista’s stronger security components, Blackboard is seeing it cause problems such as locking up and crashing computers; and you are more likely to experience problems if you have upgraded from IE6 to IE7. If you start with a fresh IE7 and Vista, you are less likely to experience difficulties.
