Hey Specter...
Check out some of the threads here - there's been plenty written about Win7 and Il2.
I have Win7 Ultimate and, after disabling the UAC and knocking off the firewall (I use a router that has a firewall), there's been absolutely no issues with running a whole host of older software. Anything that uses 32 bit technology just goes into a folder marked "Program Files (x86)." Shoot, I'm using Office 2002 and an old Canon 3-in-1!
I like the Win7 platform; I went right from WinXP to this and gave the problem-riddled Vista a miss altogether.
As always there's a bunch of new skills need to be learned to get the most out of this but hell, I figure if I can do it anyone can.
Great days all.
