We were leery of Win 7 when it came out to replace XP but a lot of us adapted, even though our mainstay programs were 32 bit. Yeah, it's cute and all that but not real practical in business applications. Just because a new version of windows comes out doesn't mean it's better for mainstream businesses. I know this is an old thread but I love it when those who don't know try to tell those who do know what to do.

No problems with one install trashing the other install, etc. When you're done, just reboot and switch boot disks again. The system will reboot into the other OS. If you're in one OS and you need the other one, just reboot, enter Setup, select the other disk as the boot disk and click Save and Exit. you can get some advice from someone who actually knows something about computers and they'll tell you that you can just add a second hard disk for about $40 with a new install of whatever current Windows OS you want to use and set it up as a dual boot system.
When those in charge of designing for the future know so little about the real small business world, it's no wonder we are given stuff like touchy-feelie screens straight out of "Idiocracy" with no trace of irony.Or. This, dear naive young techie hipsters, is the scam perpetrated on thousands of small businesses.
#Update windows xp mode windows 7 software#
And no, printing 10,000 pages of info is not a viable option we are left with trying to keep old software alive, like Lazarus, and only Virtual Machines running XP will provide a tenuous lifeline. Then, lo and behold, after closing, we still must somehow maintain these for seven years in case the IRS comes calling commonly, either a) the software company is also closed, or b) we might keep spending thousands, just for this contingency, for a business we can no longer even take deductions for. Obviously two camps here - those who play with computers, and those who ran real businesses that demanded pricey, proprietary software tied to MS OS, along with expensive annual support, often in the thousands, for glitchy upgrades that gave nothing, until we just stopped paying. When those in charge of designing for the future know so little about the real small business world, it's no wonder we are given stuff like touchy-feelie screens straight out of "Idiocracy" with no trace of irony.
