If you buy w7 you have to buy all new software and printers and scanners because xp drivers for printers and scanners and every other application don't work for w7

At the risk of being overly simple, why wouldn't you use Win 7 drivers? Everything I had running under Win XP runs perfectly under 7 after I used the correct drivers.

As much as I love rehashing this frustrating issue again, windows 7 says: "this program is incompatible with this version of windows"

"the version of this file is not compatible with the version of windows you're running"

None of my functional software works on 7. I trouble shot, google searched, and driver guided for months and was at an absolute impasse. The dual boot system was the only solution (and my own idea) that I could come up with other than spending thousands on new software and hardware that had been mass produced without being properly tested yet. Windows 7 is garbage (and 5 times larger than xp). Bloatware and poppycock.
