If you bought Win 7 Pro or Ultimate, go to Microsoft.com and download XP Mode (you'll have to search for it). That will allow you to run Win XP in a virtual box, so some cranky programs will work.

For those wanting to cheat 32 bits, don't. Remember that 2^32 = 4GB - that's why it is a hard limit. 64-bit has a completely different architecture in terms of drivers, so that is why some things don't work.

And for those that downgrade to a Macintosh, enjoy your overpriced, completely closed system...

How is Macintosh completely closed?

I can run Windows and Linux and of course Mac OS X on my Mac.

There are just as many 3rd party add-ons and peripherals for Mac as there is for PCs.

And because Apple builds the hardware and the primary OS, I am assured that things actually work the way they're supposed to.

Yes, I could have purchased a less expensive computer, just as I probably could have purchased a cheaper car or a cheaper house. But value is much more important to me than cost.

I use my computer for work and pleasure at least 8 hours per day and it's worth it to me to spend, perhaps a little more money to get something that really works for me.

LOL... Mac vs. Windows:

I plan on it. Upgrading right on up to a Mac.

That's what I did 18 months ago and couldn't be happier.

Why can't there ever be a thread about Windows, without a bunch of Mac-fanboys jumping into it?

Windows.. pfff. get a mac son....

Would never buy a Mac because the
shot caller at Apple decided not to
provide their techs with remote access.
RA will cut a 40 minute troubleshooting
session down to 10 or 20 minutes.
HUGE time saver. HUGE sanity saver.
The Apple shot caller is concerned with
profit, doesn't want to spend the money.
RA is to a customer what a stethoscope
is to a docter. Apple knows the wonders or RA.
Because they don't offer it they are shortchanging
the user big-time. And that can be construed as
bad business practice.

I call Apple's tech support division every 6 months.
Sometimes I am forced to wait 20 minutes to talk to one
of their techs. Proof that Macs - like all mechanical
devices - go bad. The moneygrubbers at Apple have a 2-300%
markup on the retail price of their computers (4-600% on iPods).
They can afford to implement RA. Ditto for Toshiba and Lenovo.
There's no excuse for not implementing remote access. I've
heard their excuses and the excuse I hear over and over
again would melt down a polygraph machine. Even if you
use RA only once a year you'll be glad they invented it especially
if you use your computer like I do my body: for work, school and pleasure.
Remote access: cannot and will not live without it. Ever. Which
is why I'll buy a computer only from manufacturers who provide
their technicians and customer base with remote access.
