[QUOTE="Tom Bourke, post: 91011, member: 4342"] Re: Windows Version I have been using winxp in VM only for several years. I also have win 7 pro for those windows only applications. My main video edit rig is also win 7 pro. One nice thing, at least it use to be this way, win 7 pro came with access to a version of virtual PC that ran applications in a real install of XP. All you need is a CPU with the proper virtualization flags. My day to day computing is all linux, mostly centOS. The hyp around viruses and updates is kind of moot if you take care of what you do with your machine on line. I have not had a virus in at least 10 years, if ever. But then my windows installs only see manufaturer websites, or in the case of vm's, a fresh install is just a revert to snapshot away. [/QUOTE]
