TOPIC: Laptop, notebook,tablet

Does anyone know where I can purchase a CTL20 in Canada?  From what I've read in the threads, this seems the way to go.  New the industry, I started "the old fashioned way" but hope to update to the 21st century soon.  Your input is appreciated.

Call Matt Kintze at CTLCorp.com, he can set you up.

How incompatible is Windows 7 with existing programs. I run five or six programs at a time when I'm doing my report. Some of these are old programs and I have no inclination to upgrade every one of them to Windows 7 (if that's necessary).

I was told by a computer rep that was using a tablet in a store I was visiting that Windows 7 professional will run XP compatible programs without any problem.

Is there any problems encountered with running XP on seven?

I upgraded my Vista laptop to Win 7 and it smoked several programs. Not only that, Win 7 uses a different directory structure than XP and Vista so many thing "lost their mind" and had to be re-worked to point to the right place.  Major PITA!  Sorry I did it. Vista sucked but this is worse.

Starting from scratch and installing all the software that will run on 7 is the way to go for sure.  I like it but it has cause me a lot of grief and extra work.
The XP thing is a "virtual machine" implementation. XP runs in a separate discreet process inside Win 7 as I understand it. Unfortunately, my HP laptop is a piece of crap and does not have the power to do it.

I still haven't had a need to run the virtual machine yet except for testing it out. I love you, it's much faster than Vista was (though I didn't have a huge problem with Vista).
