That is a very bold statement - Can I really use 7 for imaging and guiding? I use a QHY5, PHD, AA4, The Sky6, ASCOM 5, a Canon 20D with IP and an Opticstar 145m plus Atik USB filter wheel and Belkin USB to serial devices (to drive the Canon shutter and connect to my G11G).
I would love to think I can run all that from 7 - has anyone switched over their imaging system yet? Can 7 use XP drivers - especially for USB devices via the compatability mode.
I am about to go for a new lappy for imaging only and the models with XP as an option are vanishing quite quickly...
