+===== System requirements =====
+==== Overview =====
+During development our software is continuously tested on the Microsoft Windows Operating System
+using the following browsers: Internet Explorer 10+ and the latest versions of Google Chrome, Safari and
+Firefox.\\
+As a rule of thumb, if you're running an up-to-date browser, you should be able to run our software.
+=== Desktop or workstation hardware ===
+The minimum requirements in terms of processor speed and memory (for Pathotrainer) are hard to
+determine. We are pretty sure that any computer under 5 years old will be able to interface with the
+platform using a HTML5-capable web-browser without any problems. In case of doubt, we refer to the particular system requirements that apply to the specific flavor and version of web-browser that is being used.
+=== Web browser ===
+A hosted web application is consulted through a (usually) remote computer on the internal company
+network (or Internet). To allow the delivery of content to as many clients as possible, we have very
+relaxed requirements in terms of client hardware and software requirements.
+Key is that we don't require any additional webbrowser-plugins such as Flash, Silverlight, WebGL, or
+Java.Nor do we depend on or do we install any additional browser add-ons (BHO - Browser Helper
+Objects) ourselves.
+You will need a modern HTML5-capable web-browser. This means that your browser must be configured
+to allow JavaScript and accept cookies. Besides that, we've tested our software extensively in a host of
+different web browser environments, and found it to operate under all except for Internet Explorer 10
+and lower. For the best user experience, we recommend using Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge or any
+Chromium based browser such as Google Chrome and Opera. On a Mac, you are welcome to use
+Safari, Firefox or, again, any Chromium based browser.
+If a browser is not supported, an error message follows.

+Because of content delivery through a web browser, interfacing with our software is not limited to
+Windows-only machines (though the web applications themselves run on Microsoft infrastructure). Our
+communication implementation is based on REST web services and the standard HTTP protocol, so you
+can truly use our software anywhere, any time.
+=== Popup-blocking and Ad-blocking ===
+Our software uses dialogs as a means to interact with the end-user. These dialogs are implemented
+based on "best practice" industry standards (including libraries such as React and jQuery). These
+dialogs are not pop-ups, and during testing, no interference with known pop-up blockers was ever
+observed.
+That being said, it is possible that at some point in the future these pop-up blockers pick up features in
+our site and label them as popups, subsequently rendering them ineffective. If this happens, you should
+let us know and we will help resolve the issue in collaboration with you popup blocking software vendor.
+The same reasoning applies to webbrowser plugins that block advertisements. These oftentimes already
+target the kind of technology that we use ourselves to interact through dialogs (such as iframes). There is
+a large variety of possible interpretations of such features (in a website), and while we haven't come
+across this yet, it is possible that at some point a certain feature of our site gets interpreted as
+commercial content. If this happens, you should let us know and we will help resolve the issue in
+collaboration with you advertisement blocking software vendor.
+If you experience problems on your installation, please let us know and we will find a solution to resolve
+your particular issues
