It looks like it's decision time for me.  I have been running my Wildcat
Server since we switched from BBS, and for 10 years on Windows XP (32 bit)
which MS will discontinue official updates April 2014.

I see where Windows 7 is going to be around until 2020, and have seen and
heard many complaints about Windows 8 and don't really want to go there
because of other more expensive software compatibility issues.

I do solid and CFD modeling on a Windows 7 (64 bit) machine and it handles
the work OK, however, I am reluctant to move my wildcat server to any other
64 bit machine because it has worked so flawlessly for so many years in 32 bit.

I have a clean 64 bit Intel dual quad I can us for my server.

The question here is:  I have stayed up with the AUP; if i do a clean
install with Windows 7 and the AUP CD, will things go smoothly?
