I am running Gpg4win 2.0.4 on a desktop Acer Inspire, under Windows 7 Home Premium 64bits. For test only. I am a Macintosh user, the Acer (incredible machine) is a present from the family. > We have kept using Gpg4Win 1.1.4 for some time since when we tried the > version 2.0.0 it killed certain functions on our PC:s (I think for > instance Outlook went haywire). Outlook (Office 2007) recognizes gpg 2.0.14, but the interaction, IMO, is unreliable. For an example, Outlook strips in-line signed messages of what it calls "extra line-returns" (?), therefore invalidating the signature. Encrypted and signed messages are processed correctly. I have still to text interaction with Thunderbird+Enigmail. > But now our IT person says GPG does not work on Windows 7, so what is > the final verdict here? I am far, far from being an IT person.

If I get more meaningful results of my tests, I shall update you.
