Windows 7.... Finally.

Ok, i finally gave up on my old trusty Windows XP gaming rig. It was the pride & joy of my fleet in early 06, and darn near bankrupt me too, lol. This weekend i'll decommission the HDD, and tear her down.

I figure i can still get a little bit for the two graphics cards, sound card and the case, but the rest is junk.

The new girl, is an 27" iMac, and she is pretty sweet. I will be making a windows bootable partition so i can play my Silent Hunter collection, and it looks like i'm finally going to move on from XP to Win 7. This brings me to my question... I'm only going to be using the windows side for Silent Hunter games, does anyone see any reason why i can't just use the home edition? Everything else I do will be on the Mac side.

Win 7 Home should work just fine.
