I have a couple of concerns with Windows 7, I mostly use my PC for gaming, and want to know, are there a lot of games like on Vista that will not run? Like the older games, becuase I still enjoy playing those (Hitman 2, etc), and also programs, like will Office 2003 still run? Anti-virus like AVG? etc.
Then how many driver conflicts are there? Is it hard to get all the right drivers for your motherboard, GFX card etc.

I am currently running:
Mobo: Asus P5K-e Wifi
RAM: 2GB 1066Mhz OCZ Reaper
CPU: 2.4GHZ E6600 (clocked to 3.2Ghz)
GFX: XFX 8800GTS 640MB version (G80 core)
HDD: Seagate Baracuda 2x 250GB in RAID 0
OS: Windows Vista Home Premium 64x

Thanx for all the help.

I had no problems with any software that ran on Vista. a couple needed a brief workaround, but nothing too troublesome.

Well I did have printer problems until I discovered Win7 will use Vista Drivers.

Imaged my existing Vista 64 install to a new drive, and upgraded that. Works fine.
