ArcGIS Explorer Running Well On Microsoft Windows 7

Some of the experiences in going about getting ArcGIS Explorer installed on Windows 7 can be found in my post here: http://geo.geek.nz/esri/…

I have yet to install ArcGIS Server 9.3 on Windows 7. I am keen to see how this performs and runs. I should be doing this over the next few days and will post about how I get on.
