From the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Blogs: Contemplating NAV 2013 Hardware; NAS Services Credentials; Crash Dump Creation

Hardware Requirements for Dynamics NAV 2013 "NAV 7": Dynamics NAV consultant Alex Chow says now that he's taken a peek at the hardware requirements for Dynamics NAV 2013, he realizes that there are a couple of things the end user will need.

"More notable, it looks like now the computer has to be running at least Windows 7 in order to use the NAV 2013 Windows client," he adds.

Chow says he has mixed feelings about this:

"While I do understand that Windows XP is no longer supported at Microsoft, I'd [say] at least half of our customers that are using NAV are still using Windows XP. So if an upgrade is considered by the end user, they will have to budget for the OS as well. Not to mention the new customers that are considering Dynamics NAV as their ERP of choice over the competitors. If XP is running okay, why am I going to spend another chunk of money on each computer?"
