I want Windows 7 x64(I'll probably be getting it on my laptop). It seems like a good OS without too many comparability problems. It is windows and everything(mainstream) is made for windows.

The only problem I have had with Windows 7 x64 is compatibility with 16 bit programs.  I can, however use the XP emulator that can be downloaded from Microsoft.

Yes, like really old 16 bit programs.  The 32 bit x86 processors had backwards compatibility with the 16 bit programs.  The x64 has backwards compatibility with the 32 bit programs, but it seems to have given up 16 bit compatibility. 

Of course, anyone who still uses a 16 bit program should be able to figure out a work around.

Yeah windows is a good OS. If your computer is crashing 20+ times a year, its probably a hardware problem. Or virus. yikes :O

What about on a calculator? I like the TI-83 Plus OS better than Casio ones. I also like the new Nspire OS.
