Hello, DSpace doesn't actually open PDFs inside of itself. It doesn't come with a PDF reader built in.
When you click on a PDF within DSpace, it is downloaded into your web browser (Chrome, Firefox, IE, etc), and your *web browser then decides whether to open the PDF itself, or download the file*. So, it sounds to me like this may be a difference in settings within your web browsers on Windows XP and Windows 7. It's possible one web browser has a PDF plugin which lets it open the PDF itself..while the other one does not (in which case the web browser likely would download the PDF to your computer). In any case, this doesn't sound like a bug in DSpace. It's likely a difference in how your web browser is configured on each computer. If I've misunderstood, let us know on this mailing list...we'd be glad to help further.
