Crystal Reports XI and CF 7

I have read that Crystal XI does not support the old microsoft COM object interface.  Yet, CF 7 and CF 8 still say they support Crystal Reports.  Does anyone know if this is true with Crystal XI?  I also know that Crystal supports .net and java.  Has anyone used ether interface with CF 7 or 8 and if so what steps did you have to take to get it all to work?

thanks, Jeff
