Some older prgms will not run in 64-bit. The XP I reloaded was an old system for someone who just wanted a clean install and mostly used it for getting online and etc.

I'm running 7 on this Dell Precision laptop I use mostly now, but have to use XP in a Windows Virtual mode for some older development apps I still use.

Hilarious stuff! All you need is to use Apple computers and OS and your problems are solved. I have been an Apple user for years with nary a problem ever. My brother and his son were dedicated users of Microsoft junk and they had years of problems, crashes and serial software and hardware failures. Nevertheless, they persisted in trying time after time to “fix it.” Sadly, they failed. Modest prediction: The whole computer industry is in terminal obsolescence and the first to go under will be PC makers.

What’s your favorite virtual environment? I started using VMWare on my quadcore, but most of my other systems won’t run it so I’m using Virtualbox. It seems to run faster/smoother on cheese hardware.
