Unfortunately, or not, I had Vista x64 installed on my DAW. At the time it
seemed like the right thing to do and I haven't really had any problems
except that I really hate the look of the directories. Sonar 8.5 has been
rock solid with it but with all the good things being said about Windows 7 I
am thinking about doing an upgrade to W7 x64. Part of me says if it ain't
broke don't fix it and the other part says go for the latest and greatest
version of Windows. Am I asking for trouble if I upgrade? Will I have to
reinstall most of my programs? I really don't want to spend a huge amount
of time on getting things to run right.

If you do an upgrade, it won't erase your OS.

Chip must be so proud of you. I wonder sometimes, if I should've kept
doing DF. Once you got a client locked in, you had them for life. I
really thought the company would've gone belly-up by now.
