Unless there is a really compelling reason to change, I'd stick to XP. Win7 tightens down the screws, especially if you like to crawl around in the system and poke things.
Since NT, MS has suggested that it's not good to write to files under the program files directory, but didn't enforce it. Now they do, and some software authors either were not aware of that or choose to kludge around it. So the answer to whether a program will be happy in Win7 (and vice versa) is...... maybe. Another difference: In previous incarnations, you could create folders and shortcuts in the Start menu, and move stuff around so it looked like you wanted it to look. Almost impossible now. I know at some point I'll have to change, but I'm very forcibly dragging my heels. My $.02 worth. May be worth less..... :-D 73, Mike NF4L On 1/4/2011 3:50 PM, riese-k3...@juno.com wrote: > Gang > > looking to do an upgrade and they tell me that win 7 is finally working > so my question is will the non commercial programs do OK with win 7/64 > bit > ,,, argo et all.
