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...
Not a bold statement - just the plain truth.
