Due to the above compatibility issues, third-party service providers are strongly recommended to consult both their Client and Coabis Support prior to providing hardware with Windows Vista for use with Coabis. If in doubt, Windows 2000 or Windows XP should be provided.

Coabis should not be used with Windows Vista unless the Client master database has been upgraded to Oracle v10.2.0.3.
