I upgraded to Win7 through buying a refurbished HP machine with AMD
quad-core processor and 8GB RAM. It only had Win7 Home Premium
installed on it and I assumed I'd have to upgrade to Professional to get
the XP mode. I thought that would be a good tradeoff for a fast machine
at low cost. The Win7 upgrade hasn't proved to be necessary.
