I am very familiar with Win7 - I use it every day at work. They have seriously screwed up the way Windows Explorer behaves. For example, have you tried searching for specific content in a directory of files? Good luck with that. It's inexcusable that you need to buy a third party application to get the searching facilities that were built in to XP.
My LP/VHS transfer machine has a specific job to do and it isn't used for web browsing or email, so infections are not a concern. I don't need support from Microsoft for a legacy OS that does the job required of it. And last of all, I don't know if some of the applications I use do actually work on Win7. I really don't want to have to buy (and learn to use) a whole new raft of apps as well, when the ones I already own work just fine. On reflection, JJZolx's suggestion if trying to find a replacement mobo on the used market is sensible. Although I must admit getting a faster CPU would be nice...
