Windows 7 Home to Pro

Oh great! let me try that out right now.

That worked. Thanks Shadow.

^ Excellent. Just curious, why did you upgrade to Pro? Not many people need the feature in Pro.

Scuse me for jumping in uninvited...  

Just as an example, I went for Pro over Home Premium since I wanted XP mode. Thus far I haven't had a need for it, but you never know.

I shall jump in myself, I did the upgrade from Home Premium to Pro because I needed the remote desktop tools and functionality.

True, but you can always run it via VM (ie VirtualBox,etc). If you have software that doesn't run correctly on Win 7, you are better off getting new/upgraded software.

I went with Pro because I got it free via MSDNAA and MSDN and the school book store only sells Pro for $50-60 (or so, cant remember exact cost, but it was less than $110)   .

same here but i just use VMware.

Fair enough. I just went with XP Mode because it integrates so well with the rest of the OS. Running XP and 7 applications side-by-side is extremely cool.

The new 3dsmax requires win7 Pro that's the only reason.
