[Elecraft] win 7 32/64 bit

[Mike]

Unless there is a really compelling reason to change, I'd stick to XP.

Win7 tightens down the screws, especially if you like to crawl around in the system 
and poke things.

Since NT, MS has suggested that it's not good to write to files under the program 
files directory, but didn't enforce it. Now they do, and some software authors either 
were not aware of that or choose to kludge around it. So the answer to whether a 
program will be happy in Win7 (and vice versa) is...... maybe.

Another difference: In previous incarnations, you could create folders and shortcuts 
in the Start menu, and move stuff around so it looked like you wanted it to look. 
Almost impossible now.

I know at some point I'll have to change, but I'm very forcibly dragging my heels.

My $.02 worth. May be worth less..... :-D
