Been using Win7 for about a month and am so far pleased.

If you are running XP and are on the fence about Win7, particularly
your older programs, it has a cool compatibility assistant. How it
works is you right-click on the exe file of the program in question
(Ex: Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop\photoshop.exe). The compatibility
assistant will pop up, diagnose the program and recommend the correct
setting. In my case, it was with Photoshop 6 (old version) and the
compatibility assistant recommended Win XP (SP 2) mode, that has
worked.

Does that work with all versions of Windows 7?

I assume it does, though Win7 Ultimate has gone further with a Win XP
virtualization mode that creates an XP sandbox.

I've got 64 bit... and there are lot of problems with old software.

I think the best is to have an XP for work, so you can use all your
stuff and you can be sure that you have a very stable and tested
operating system

And windows 7 is for fun, internet, games or whatever... testing 64
bit programs etc etc.
