Most def man.

The only thing I'm worried about is programs like AutoCAD 2009, Revit Architecture, 3ds Max Design and Ableton 7.0 not being compatible with Win 7.0. These are programs I've actually paid for, so loosing $$ over an OS change is not part of the plan , unless there is some sort of support out there, which I doubt there is any available.

Originally posted by Carlos Pereira I'm considering upgrading my OS platform from XP 64-bit to Windows 7, but if it's another Vista nightmare then I'll pass. is anyone running Win 7? if so, what is the performance like?

I've been running Win 7 64 bit at home since January. It's amazing. Definitely the atonement for Vista's sins. It's incredibly smooth, very slick (probably trying to rival Leopard), and mostly problem free so far.

I work for an audio software company so I've seen a lot of weirdness in my testing in Win7, but generally when they release newer versions those issues go away.

I took a dump out a window 7 times.
