Off topic of course but I can't resist. I'm 100% with IO540. Windows 7 is a complete waste of time. XP may be buggy and all the rest but from a practical pov, it does everything I need. Since I installed W7 I've had nothing but grief, all sorts of "helpful" "features" that just get in the way, the security stuff most of all. I miss my XP laptop, that's for sure.
I think XP is now free from the MS website, so if you have stuff that absolutely needs it, the thing to do is run VMWare or Virtualbox and then run XP inside that, for those apps.
I recently shifted to a 100% virtual world, with W7 (for the things that need it) running in Virtualbox on Ubuntu Linux, and it works very nicely. Sadly there is still one thing that needs a real Windows system: the Jeppesen update for my Garmin 430/530! For some reason the little USB thingy they provide will not run in the virtual environment.
