Frontier™ Workstation and Microsoft Windows Vista compatibility update. With the release of Frontier 5.7.4, your Frontier Workstation is now compatible with the new Windows Vista operating system. However, several firms have third party packages commonly used with Frontier that are not yet compatible with Windows Vista implementations. As a result, Windows Vista should not be used for Frontier imaging workstations or those requiring fingerprint logon.
