[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 1336752, member: 24098"] I had a peek at your blog and I just have to compliment you on it. Both the visuals and content are wonderful and unique. With that said, I think you'll be surprised to learn that Windows 7 is actually very compatible with most Windows XP software, because in all honesty, it's not all that different from XP "under the hood". There are some new security features that could cause compatibility issues, but they are very few and far between. XP is beyond its development cycle, and in fact, Microsoft is getting ready to officially stop supporting it. What this means to you is that they will no longer issue security patches for it, rendering it unsafe to use in any capacity where it will have access to the Internet. I would strongly urge you to check with the vendors who make the software you intend to use to see if their packages are Windows 7 friendly. I think you'll be surprised to find that most, if not all of them, are. [/QUOTE]
