I only use ME because XP doesn't agree with my soundcard, and with the M-Audio Quattro being a 400$ piece of hardware, it's more than worth it for me to work in WinME to do my sound stuff (which to me is more important than the graphic work) where the drivers actually function (the driverts for the quattro have long been known to be inconveniences for almost every OS, it's kinda random as to which OS will work best for each person). Basically, my only problem with PS7, that I can see, is when opening te Blend Modes window on a layer, which I don't believe existed before PS 6, nevermind 5. Everything else seems to juice fine. Come to think of it, I prolly won't install XP at all if that's my only problem... I just wish there was a way around it.
