Default Is Dom3 compatible with Windows 7?

Although I am taking a hiatus from Dom3 at the moment, this is an important question for me as I am about to upgrade my old laptop. Has anyone tried running Dom3 on Windows 7? Thanks.

"Without any problems", qualified as:

1) Providing your video drivers are correctly installed
2) You are familiar with finding program save data in the Vista/7 location, vs. where things would be stored in previous versions. See this thread: http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/showthread.php?t=42539

Note that to avoid #2, you may be able to just zip up your dominions folder on your current (Windows) install, unzip it on your new machine in your preferred location (e.g. D:\Games\Dominions), and go with that. That process worked for me, in any case.

Indeed, I have installed my dom3 3 years ago and used it on many computers with different Windows version. I have it on my usb stick all the time.

It works flawless for me on windows 7 ultimate 64 bit.

It required no special tweaking or anything. Heck, I have even just copied and pasted from Windows xp to my Windows 7 machine and it works like a charm without even having to install it.
