Will the software from AB (rslinx, rslogix) and Siemens (S7 starting new job not sure on software here) work with Windows home or MCE. I am thinking about using my dauther labtop as a back up, but I am not sure if it will run. I have only ever used pro.

Thanks

I know that only Windows XP Professional, not Home or MCE, is officially supported for most Rockwell Software products. I know from experience that RSLogix 5000 won't install on an XP Home computer, but 5/500 might.
