Still, to my mind, very vague. Especially as regards what operating systems will be supported. I'm guessing that XP won't be and if that is the case why don't they come out and say it? I have two desktops on site both running XP and as of now I have no idea whether I have to buy a new one or not. Which rather goes against their (paraphrased) if you can access the internet and print pages off you shouldn't need to buy any new equipment. Sorry but I see the whole exercise as being about cutting their costs and passing them onto us with still no increase in the test fee.

There are two pieces of software you will need.

A browser, examples being Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, Silk, Safari, etc

Adobe Reader or a compatible program that will open and allow you to print .pdf files.

The operating software can be any version of Windows (and I've seen Comp 2 working on XP peter), Linux, Apple iOS, Andriod, etc, etc.

It is recommended (but not essential) to use a software version that is still supported by the manufacturer.

That does make it much clearer than the official announcement.
