So, I have ordered Windows 7 Home Premium. I am currently running XP Pro and never bothered to make the switch to Vista.
Anyway, I run Adobe Illustrator CS2. It seems that it's going to give me headaches in Win 7. Now had I realised this before placing my pre-order, then I guess Win 7 Pro would have been a better option because of the virtual XP.
Given the jump in price now for Pro, that's not an option for me, and I cannot afford to upgrade to CS4 at the moment, so that's not an option either.
So, is there any other options for me? The way I see it at the moment my only option is to dual boot XP and Win7. This is obviously less than ideal, but I cannot see an alternative. Am I missing something?
