Hi Mark,
In addition to George's words of wisdom can I add that SPSS (statistical
software) is a no goer in 64bit. I have a 32 bit netbook and have to runit
on it. Also, some software will not run o 64 bit machines, Sony voice editor
I hope you are listening too!!
I am running 7 Home and it is a nice step forward from XP.
Regards,
Mike

Hi Mark,
Many 32 bit applications will run on a 64 bit machine. I can attest to that
here.
However, and it is a big "HOWEVER", there are two caveats.
1) Accept that some more recent applications will just not run on Windows 7,
although these usually tend to be in the minority, and often where the
developer had specifically designed it that way - thus forcing you to pay
for an upgrade! (British Telecom / Nortel are you
listening?)
2) To cover yourself, try to get the Professional or Ultimate version of
Windows 7. This includes an XP Mode, which is not in the Home version.
This gives you a better chance of running programs which previously ran in
XP, but do bear in mind caveat 1 above,
Otherwise you will find Windows 7 64 bit quite nippy and well worth it.
George.

Hi all.
I'm considering a new laptop and going down the full 64 bit route.
Having just spoken to a tech support chap, I was told that you can run
32 bit applications on a full 64 bit machine with 64 bit win7 on it.
I seem to remember a post last week contradicting this advice, so what is
the actual answer to this, please?
Can 32 bit applications be run on a full 64 bit system or not?
Are there any other pitfalls to watch out for by going 64 bit windows7? Any
makes to recommend or avoid?
Regards,
Mark Threadgold
