So that small business should make, gasp a Business expense, and purchase 7 ultimate or enterprise if they need XP virtualization that badly. Or like I said down load a free VM program. It really isn’t that tough of a thing to figure out.

As far as your Apple thing, how exactly is that MS’s issue? Sounds like a hardware issue, and quite a bit of over exaggeration.

Small businesses and big businesses “gasp” have been sitting on XP machines because they don’t want Vista.

Face it Vista is crap. Vista is a god send for Apple. Lots of people are finding the best way to run Windows is o buy a Mac.

I thought we were talking about 7 and XP here, and not Vista?

Vista WAS crap for alot of people though but only the uneducated would continue to say that though.

Uh, what flight simulators are you running? I had FS2002, FS2004, FSX and XPlane on my Vista machine. I then installed W7 over Vista and every sniggling detail was perfectly imported, or whatever it’s called. All my button assignments on the CH yoke, all my settings in each sim, everything.

Every flight sim works perfectly. That’s why I’m curious you’re not able to do it.

Thanks for your response aft. I did get the system working but there are problems with the MOBO. I’m 72 and have been in computers all my life. Abit has virtually left the USA so any help from their web sites is short in coming. Seagate has done nothing towards implementing the drivers for the large drives but little by little things are coming about. I installed Vista 32 not the 64 system. My video was off but that’s because Radeon 9200 drivers haven’t been written and probably won’t be. They start with 9500. Thanks for your reply.
