I'll prolly buy a new laptop after Windows 7 Service Pack 1. I hear it will run most of my favorite XP software anyway and most everything worthwhile will be updated by then anyway. So far my experience with Win7 has been good. It runs 12-yr-old apps built for WinNT/95, it has drivers, it recognizes pretty much everything I've thrown at it. I don't like its visual aspect, or the limitations it places on system tools, but as an application platform it's going to be good.

I'm still on XP for my business software including FrontPage (with separate overlay) for my website.
1. So Win7 will run these older "XP" based software apps?
2. Is Win7 noticeably faster than XP?
