It's probably worth asking when you tried it.

My experience is that a lot of things that didn't work a few versions ago, now
do. Including PCB layout packages, Amazon Kindle for Windows, and (ahem) Plants
vs Zombies...

So if you tried (say) v1.2 or earlier, it may be worth another look.

On the other hand, if your application needs to access special PCI hardware, you
are probably still SOL.
