[QUOTE="SpinningCompass, post: 999711"] Re: the question of Windows XP versus Windows 7, I urge you to go with XP. XP is a known quantity, its strengths and weaknesses are well documented, and if I understand you correctly then you are installing XP to support applications you were using before he switched to Macintosh. I would consider it anachronistic to install the latest Microsoft OS to support legacy applications. Also, XP has a smaller memory footprint. This is important if you choose to run XP from within Mac OS. [/QUOTE]
