Thanks for that information, Charlie.

One other question.

I see that W7 has an XP "emulator" or virtual PC. If I set up W7 64-bit, can I
emulate XP 32bit? (I have some programs that are not supposed to run in 64-bit
mode)

All Windows 64-bit OSs have a 32-bit compatability mode including VMs. So;
without having direct experience with Win7 yet, the answer would be yes.
WinXP 64-bit was not a "real" product in the first place, meaning OEM only.
So I think that was the main reason for this feature.

Yes, there is a separate download for Windows Virtual PC and XPMode. It
allows you to run a separate XP virtual machine. This is primarily for
applications that won't run on Vista/Win7, not so much for 32-bit
compatibility, though it does that too. Most 32-bit applications, however,
don't require anything special at all.

Note that Windows VPC is only available for Professional, Enterprise, and
Ultimate editions of Win7.

Thanks Charlie. I was planning to obtain the Professional variation (not
needing BitLocker which seems to be the only advantage of Ultimate).

There are some programs I use regularly for which their support staff states
specifically that they don't work on 64-bit OS's yet (including Vista and XP).
Hence, my concern.
