You may be right but at the moment if it ain't broke why fix it. I guess I'll only move to win7 or 8 when some program I absolutely need will not run in XP, but since they are all backwards compatible that may take a while. My wife has win7 on her laptop and yeah it's ok but I wouldn't redo my whole set up for a change in appearances. XP runs all my programs without a hitch so I don't see that win7 running in 64bit mode will make my guiding faster???
Processing images - yes that's a different kettle of fish. More memory and faster etc is better, but ATM I can plod along with PS3 extended in XP. Takes me so long to decide if I like a change to an image that the extra speed may be a moot point.
