Thinking about it (on XP now).

Main pro for me is being able to use more than the 3.25 Gig of ram that XP recognizes.

But concerns (although noting a good many positive reports on Win7) remain:
1. Stability and compatibility with existing progs/drivers etc
2. Will it run sh3? That's fundamental for me, as I expect to be playing sh3 for a while still. Even when sh5 rolls out, chances are I will still play sh3 also pending patches/mods for sh5. Do I have it right that you would have to run Win7 on 32-bit presumably to play sh3, which if I have it right means not more than the 3.25 Gig ram situation anyway? I know there's the XP mode, but I don't know enought about it at this point to figure out if ok to go with Win7.
3. And then other apps anyway, which afaik are all 32-bit.

Hopefully I'm totally wrong about the 32-bit thing, which I've never really understood.
