Question : Windows 7 and compatibility mode

Hello,
I'd like to update my system to Windows 7 Professional (64 bit) from XP pro. I have the software but am reluctant to update because I am afraid I will no longer be able to use ESRI ArcEditor 9.2.  I asked a question here: http://www.experts-exchange.com/Q_24940580.html and it seems that 9.2 will not work with Windows 7. But will it work with compatibility mode and are there are any issues I should be worried about?

Thanks,
JE

Answer : Windows 7 and compatibility mode

Why don't you try it in a virtual machine?  You can test it all you want.  If you do, make sure you use something that supports 64-bit guest operating systems like virtualbox.
