You might be surprised.
I have programs that were written for old OS (DOS/w95-98) that still
run well within XP. I have had programs written for XP that did not run well.
It all depends on the programmers.
I would assume (And it sounds pretty good) that most Vista folks will
have a pretty seamless upgrade to 7.
The biggest thing I expect if I do upgrade to 7 is finding new
drivers for stuff.
Sometimes the extra programs on Printer Driver Disks, and Program
disks (when you get those) can be the most enjoyable programs ever.
I still remember some of the early Windows games that came out on
floppies. Kind of neat.
I have aversion of MS Golf 2 sitting on my desk for reinstall (when
my new CDrom arrives) and I always enjoyed it. The best game of golf
I ever played!!! I cold actually make par.

Seems most are not mentioning upgrading from XP to 7 would be like asking
Apple to do a straight upgrade from os 9 to 10.6. All your programs and
settings too...why can't I run that program I've been running since system 7
on 10.5??
Some of the xp'ers out there are undoubtedly still running crap that they
were using on 95 or 98...and now they want to upgrade to an OS written 8-10
years later, an os that is probably going to go from being 32 to 64bit and
still expect to run everything they used to.
That being said, generally speaking Apple has it all over windows in the
upgrade area, going from 10.3 to .4 or .5 is flawless and easy. You can't
say that if you are going from vista to 7, MS has never put the time in to
make this work nearly as well.
