I once used windows xp for development but had windows 7 on my desktops.=20
It seemed to be a good OS overall so I then put windows 7 on my=20
development computers as well. Lately though I have been annoyed by=20
several things that I didn't encounter with xp. IDE applications that=20
have access violations and close, programs that once worked but now=20
don't due to things like inability to access the parallel port and just=20
general bugs and errors here and there.  Some applications will not run=20
at all and just close because they were written for windows 98 and=20
unfortunately the creators are no longer around or don't have new=20
versions. I tried compatibility options but still some don't work.

I can work around most of these, but I was wondering what others are=20
doing. Are you staying with an older OS for compatibility or are you=20
toughing it out slowly changing to a newer OS ? I am at the point of=20
considering going back to xp for my development pc but I hate the idea=20
of going to an OS I know will not be supported in the future. Curious=20
what others are doing here .

Thanks
Mark
