I have changed straight from XP to W7. Yes Gregg, one has to get used to a few new things but isn't that so with any new program? I find W7 very stable and forgiving and together with CS5.5 and obviously a powerful enough computer it "just goes". The 64bit version is needed for Premiere. You only need the Home Premium version unless you are in a corporate environment where issues like networking security etc are of importance.. Uwe
