Are you guys using Home Premium or Professional? The only reason I'd go
to Professional is for the "XP Compatibility" thing - in case some of my
apps don't work. It costs a hell of a lot morw though :-\

Create another partition to install 7. If you need to go back to XP just
boot back into it.

Yeah - it's some downloadable thing - I don't really know how it works. I'm waiting for you guys to
find out ;-)

That's what I plan on doing - which means that home premium should be fine. Is that what you're using?

Yep. I haven't downloaded my Pro version yet. I guess XP Mode might be
useful for some older games. I guess I could run Gigastudio 2.5,3 or 4.

Unfortunately GS4 continues to be a paperweight since it will install
on W7x64 but you need a card with GSIF 2.1 drivers and only the RME HDSP
9652 and some of the Tascam FW devices have those drivers. Those are
$$$. It will run in Rewire mode but there is no Rewire 64 bit.
