Windows XP? ME2? 7? What's your flavor?

Bacon infused vodka sounds delightful for a Bloody Mary.

Windows 7 apparently has an XP compatibility mode, which is supposed to provide 100% compatibility for XP programs. Definitely would want to try an automation program in a non-production environment first before migrating critical systems.

I am playing with Ubuntu 10.10 running XP as a virtual machine in VirtualBox. Audio driver support would be the killer, since I don't think it is coded to allow multichannel support. However, for office systems and Stereo in/out production situations, it might be the trick.
 
The XP compatibility mode doesn't help when you try to use hardware drivers that W7 doesn't like.
Example is a COM port driver for an IP RS232 port extender. When I did force it to install it actually blue-screened W7 and crashed it with e Kernal violation.
 
Ouch. I had an XP box that did not like the drive for one of the M-Audio cards we have. Worked fine on every other box.
