Autodesk Announce Support for Windows 7

Autodesk have announced support for Windows 7 in nine of their products, including AutoCAD 2010, AutoCAD LT 2010, AutoCAD Architecture 2010 and more. Currently, this support does not extend to other Autodesk products, such as Maya, 3ds Max and Revit.

Wanting to provide support for the widest possible range of operating systems, Autodesk have worked with Microsoft to make sure that customers using Windows 7 can get access to the easier and faster performance features in the 2010 line of products.

Though not all of Autodesk's product range is supported, other additions are expected to be added to the list as updated versions of software are released.

One of the key reasons for this move is the powerful new features offered by Windows 7, including 64-bit computing and multi-touch support. Currently, Autodesk are working on introducing new technology that takes advantage of these advancements. Project Cooper is one example of Autodesk's intentions: a simple drawing and drafting tool, this will take advantage of the multi-touch functionality of Windows 7.
