IBM is marketing Lotus now, so it's up to them.  http://www-01.ibm.com/software/lotus/products/smartsuite/

If it works on Vista, it's very likely to work on Win7.

    I just installed Lotus Smart Suite 9.7 Mmillenium in my new computer running Windows 7, 64 BIT.  As recomended by others  in this forum, I did not try "Autorun" but went directly to install using "setup.exe".  Seems to run all programs OK.  During registration, I noticed that Lotus sees the Windows 7 64 BIT as Windows NT 4.

    I installed (from setup.exe) Lotus123 and Approach (9.8) on a computer with Windows 7 64bit.  Both applications installed and are running with no problems for the last 3 weeks.

    I installed lotus smartsuite on all my machines here. windows 7. they run. but a few times a week the lotus icons disappear! Anyone have this problem and if so a solution possibly? thanks, Tammy

    Was so pleased to see these posts as we're very keen to continue using SmartSuite 9.8.1 on our new Windows7, 64bit computer. All goes well in XP compatability mode untill it wants to install when it insists on trying to doing so to drive E, the dvd drive, which had the disk in it. The others -C&D are greyed out so don't have the choice to change this. Has anyone else had this problem, and more importantly - found a solution?

    Contrary to this comment I have Lotus SmartSuite 9.8 running just fine on Windows 7 64 bit Professional, NOT in XP mode.  Simply run setup.exe which is on the Smart Suite installation CD.  Exit the autorun feature before starting.  My machine is a home built tower and did not even skip a beat as it loaded and set up SmartSuite.
