Review by Marshall Masters

I’m using Win7Pro x64. When it works, it works. However, incompatibility issues can make this version of Windows a nightmare if you have legacy USB and audio gear from previous editions – including Vista.

Unlike previous editions, what I’m seeing with Win7 x64 is a very slow adoption rate by OEM manufacturers. In the past, they were all in a hurry to jump on the bandwagon. I guess this time, everyone it tired of the game and holding off for as long as possible before supporting this new version of Windows. Frankly, it looks like the same nightmare Vista users endured.

I wish I had held off this version of Windows until 2011. If what you have works, don’t break it with an upgrade until you can go to the store and Win 7 support on most all the gadget boxes.
