I see no reason keeping XP and Vista on my rig.

If you are talking about the vaunted 'XP Mode', don't bother. All that it is is a virtual machine running XP pro. You do not have access to your graphics card. It emulates a 4 meg 2D video card (an S3 Trio 32/64 card to be exact). It has NO 3d functions available. Yes, you CAN run games and such on it, but it can be painful.

You can use compatibility mode like in Vista and XP to get program to work sometimes.
