   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?
