So you're staying with XP are you?

I'm using Vista not sure about getting Win 7. My Vista CD cracked and MS didn't want to replace it. I know it's not MS's fault but rather the shop which sold me the OEM CD without customer end support but I'm disappointed nonetheless. Some OEM come with customer support i.e MS would replace damaged disc for a price I was just unlucky enough to buy the OEM without end support I suspect the shop was selling me Vista copy which should otherwise not be sold separately.

Since I heard one of the W7 versions will play all the games you can play on XP includeing older dosbox ones.

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

Currently XP sp3 & Vista Ultimate 64

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.
