In a few months,
I intend to get a second computer as the production
computer for my startup. First, before going live, I
will install Windows 7 and see what it does/doesn't do.
Then I will install from the Microsoft BizSpark program
appropriate copies of Windows Server, IIS, and SQL Server.
I hope to keep running XP on my present computer at least until my startup is live. Then, with some Windows 7 experience, I may install Windows 7 on my present computer -- I have three
boot partitions and can put Windows 7 on one of them. If I really like Windows 7, then I will just junk XP.
