OS compatability-Does sansa provide updates for new OS'

[beancounter]

The Fuze is compatible with Windows XP.

That's the OS I use so no problem...

But in a year or so, I plan on getting a new computer, which will probably have windows 7 (or at least Vista).

So if I buy a Fuze now, will it become a paper weight when a new OS comes out, or will a software/hardware update be available to Fuze customers?

Thanks!

All you have to do is select MSC mode in the settings menu. This makes the Fuze show up to just about any OS as a removable storage device, just like a thumb drive.

My Sansa Fuze works perfectly with Windows 7 as of now, so you should be set!

I use my Fuze with MediaMonkey on Windows 2000 in MSC mode. It works just fine.

Any Windows that support WMP10 and above should be fine with MTP mode, for the rest you can use MSC mode.
