| 1125212 | 2010-08-07 05:09:00 | Cicero you could always dual boot your current operating system along with Win 7 so no need for XP mode. | Snorkbox (15764) | ||
| 1125213 | 2010-08-07 05:26:00 | In that case I'd recommend Ultimate, however keeping in mind that you may have restrictions I'd in that case recommend Professional. That doesn't make sense ? Also, aside from the bragging rights, I can't think of any decent reason aside from bragging rights (and compensation for a lack of manhood) why almost anybody who gets Pro would want Ultimate, unless they're a specialist enthusiast (In which case they would be educated enough not to need to ask the question): en.wikipedia.org |

Do their count C2D as one core, quad core as two? ok, with more reading I answered my own question |

| 1125216 | 2010-08-07 06:00:00 | I went for Home pre 64bit OEM didn't need the fancy packaging, have yet to find a reason to need XP mode, just as well since I don't have it although there is a workaround for getting it on Home pre | gary67 (56) | ||
| 1125217 | 2010-08-07 06:03:00 | Cicero you could always dual boot your current operating system along with Win 7 so no need for XP mode. Please note,I have oredered Pro,so further advice will only leave me wondering why I chose pro. I will have to make more furiture to make up diff. |

I just know from my experience that ultimate does everything I want :) |

| 1125219 | 2010-08-07 06:37:00 | Exactly what I found could you elaborate? I've found XP Mode an excellent solution for the odd small business person who had an (older) application that they needed to work but didn't work on Windows 7 Cheers Nathan |
