It looks like it's decision time for me. I have been running my Wildcat Server since we switched from BBS, and for 10 years on Windows XP (32 bit) which MS will discontinue official updates April 2014.bit.
I see where Windows 7 is going to be around until 2020, and have seen and heard many complaints about Windows 8 and don't really want to go there because of other more expensive software compatibility issues.
I do solid and CFD modeling on a Windows 7 (64 bit) machine and it handles the work OK, however, I am reluctant to move my wildcat server to any other 64 bit machine because it has worked so flawlessly for so many years in 32
I have a clean 64 bit Intel dual quad I can us for my server.
The question here is: I have stayed up with the AUP; if i do a clean
install with Windows 7 and the AUP CD, will things go smoothly?
