my new puter came with windows 7 home. i was using xp on my previous puter. i still have
sonar 3.xxx. audio doesn't play back in sonar 3 now. before you say "sphwew, no more audio
from sitar" i am contemplating upgrading win7 to get the xp compatibility patch that comes with
win7 premium. i also have older versions of photoshop, indesign and illustrator. i haven't
installed them yet but i'm assuming they won't work either without the patch.

has anyone had successful experience with the xp compatibility thingy in win7?

I upgraded to one of the Win7 versions that allows virtual XP, Ultimate. I installed Sonar 3 into virtual
XP and so far it works fine. Audio which did not playback in Win7 plays now in virtual XP. I also
opened a dxi synth and was able to record and playback the synth track. yay!

Many 32 bit applications install and work nicely in W7.
You can find them in the "x86" folder.
