    We're talking about Windows, not an application.

    No bragging rights for you today, off you trot, there's a good boy.

    Is Window7 Pro OK?

    And should I get 32bit or 64bit?
    I've gone for Win 7 Pro 64bit on my new-build PC. Very happy with it.

    Make sure you've plenty of RAM. I'd recommend 8GB or more. A multi-core processor would be ideal too. At least 6 cores...

    Yes definitely. Windows 7 is the operating system Vista should have been.

    Yes, Plus XP is no longer supported (or won't be soon, not sure on dates) so no more patches or fixes

    Is is worth upgrading from XP to Window 7?

    I'm going to buy Office 2010 from Software4Students (for the kids innit) and thought I might go for Windows 7 too... but is it worth upgrading from XP?

Working...
