Update: SPTD 1.59 - Improved Windows 7 Support

Sunday, May 31st, 2009

SPTD 1.59 is here!

This should fix the remaining issues encountered by Windows 7 Beta/RC users.

This release marks the availability of Windows 7 support for SPTD! The Duplex Secure forums state this is preliminary, but it seems to work pretty well with Beta 7000.

There’s also a new Daemon Tools Pro version that includes this SPTD build!
