Run it on the virtual XP machine you can get for Win7-32 or 64(not including basic Win7 versions). Do check first or you'll be sorry. Also the Intel processor must support virtualizations for that machine. Many(all core-2 duo) laptop processors and lower end ones do not support virtualization and will not run the machine under Win 7...perhaps another virual environment may. You can run several operating sytems at the same time; all using the same NIC and all having different IP address bound to that NIC....IPX/SPX works in the XP machine even though Win7 is completely unaware of that protocol....it simply passes the raw packets along...Anyhow, I run a dual Xeon 64 bit with Win7 Ult. and the XP virtual...all of the software you mention works just fine. If I were AB or anyone else I wouldn't bother targetting the latest and greatest...it's colossal waste of time.
