My transition to Windows 7 was almost seamless, barring a couple of difficulties. I have a large amount of instruments, plug-ins and intefaces. A Sonalksis plug-in would crash programs, but only when in old projects. I had to uninstall this plug-in, open the projects, resave them and then I put the plug-in back in. All projects are working beautifully on my new Dell I7. I cannot believe how much CPU strength I have now. I have yet to have to freeze a track.
The only other problem was that the M-Audio Midisport is not working in Windows 7.
If you're afraid to move out of XP, don't be afraid. If you have Vista, what are you waiting for?!

Are you installing plugins using "Run as Administrator" and turning off UAC ? I've had to do that a lot to get things working right.
