Marc, I will second Razzak's note. There is a learning curve to 7.1, and the sooner you get learning it the better. R:Base 7 and later is REALLY Windows compatible, all the way, and has so many gadgets and such that you really want to get going as soon as possible. BTW, I took both beginner and advanced R:Base 7 seminars. And I needed them.
