I had a version of it running in XP. I ran all of my programs and stored my data on a different letter drive than C: so I've been going in and reinstalling those programs without a data loss. I do use OpenOffice every so often just to see how it compares. I also have a version of WordPerfect because a friend uses it still for a book he wrote and he sends me files for it every so often. Knock wood, so far most of these programs have been loading and running. I couldn't get my old version of Nero to load though. It says Nero 6 isn't compatible, but I liked it because it didn't slow things down with the indexing it wanted to do.

I understand that Win7 has an "XP Mode" but I haven't gone looking for it. Do you know anything about that?
