We're working on it. We have one major roadblock that we're in the process of remvoing, namely Acess 2000. Marlin has been plagued with Enterprise systems that don't fill all of our needs and for years, the easy route to enhancing them has been custom built Access applications.
Unfortunately, without a great deal of work, the old Access databases don't run all of their custom written VBA code on the new versions, so we can't easily upgrade Office and Office 2000 does weird things on Windows 7. Can you imagine that Microsoft didn't write they brand new OS to support an 11 year old Office version? How rude. :-p
We're slowly rewriting them all into .NET applications. We're down to only one left that we hope to have done this year. When that happens, we can upgrade to the latest Office version (which everyone is screaming for) and move our platform up to Windows 7.
So yeah, I know. Too much to do and too little resources to do it.
