You can't easily "upgrade" to Windows 7 from XP you have to basically install it and then install all your applications and new drivers. On top of that, he'd have to upgrade the sound card and MIDI I/O and other hardware, probably. Microsoft did not add the 16-bit subsystem back to Windows 7 they merely grafted on an "XP Mode" to justify the upgrade after the Vista debacle.Īnyone who's still running XP with Cakewalk 3 (which fhender clearly states he's doing, despite your doubt that he is) may not necessarily have the money to buy a new computer that's powerful enough to run Windows 7 Professional (which he'd need for "XP Mode"). Windows 7 is basically Vista with the ugly parts painted over. The 16-bit subsystem was removed from Vista. You may not see the warnings now it's just that the app won't work properly, and you won't know why. And it will still get in the way of old apps trying to access things they're not supposed to. ![]() The security is still onerous-it's just hidden now. ![]() Yes, Windows 7 may be the "best" Windows ever-but that's grading on a curve. Thanks for the Windows 7 cheer-leading, Dave.and for missing the point of the post. It may not run 20 year old programs, but I doubt Cakewalk 3 runs on XP either. ![]() It has great security features which are MUCH more transparent than Vista.
