Bob, There are going to be some ham applications that will not work with Win7 at all (either 32 bit or 64 bit).
If you have an XP computer available, maybe now is the time to make it the dedicated hamshack computer which will free you to use the Win7 computer for non-ham related work. I for one will not likely upgrade to Win7 anytime in the near future. Not only am I happy with WinXP, but I have 6 computers on the home network, and upgrading them would be quite expensive. I am considering an "upgrade" to Ubuntu if I can get Samba to talk both ways between my Windows network and the SMB shares, but my ham station computer will continue to run Win XP because of the number of ham applications that run on it. If you want to try out Ubuntu, release 10 is now available, and there is a "Win Ubuntu" version that you can load as a dual boot with the Windows OS. 73, Don W3FPR On 1/4/2011 3:50 PM, riese-k3...@juno.com wrote: > Gang > > looking to do an upgrade and they tell me that win 7 is finally working > so my question is will the non commercial programs do OK with win 7/64 > bit > ,,, argo et all.
