I have heard that 7 can emulate an XP-type environment, I'll google it and have a go later.
Craig,
I've had a go just using the compatability mode (built into win7 - not the virtual machine stuff) - and it seamed to work on the v3.2.1 that
I've got
(I know there are newer ones, but this one matches my MJ so why change)

used it on the installer (not sure if it needed it) the program doesn't seam to need it though
I can't connect to the MJ itself though - I don't have any serial ports or usb adapters

Vista is fine, I have no problems running it. The issues people experience is generally due to a poor spec machine, this is a downside to Vista....
Win 7 is by all acounts pretty damn good though.

Does anyone know if Ubuntu fixed the one problem I had? I closed the lid on my laptop, it went into standby and Ubuntu threw a fit the size of
Scotland and refused to load ever again.
Apart from that (and it wouldn't run any of my poker games) I was finding it brilliant

Very true to a large degree. But things like the UAC popping up each time I even
fart, turn it off and just as often I get "UAC is turned off, click here.....".
I don't want a nanny OS any more than I want a nanny state 
And why should I be forced to buy a top spec machine just to run the fecking OS !!
I'm setting up a simple server to stream lossless audio files, I don't need anything fancy.

Yeah, no idea what happened might have been something in the power settings...
That's the only bit of Vista I really don't like. "Windows needs your permission to run this program"
Well, errrrr, yeah.. I DID CLICK ON IT!

At home I run XP on my main machine as a dual-boot with Mint (sometimes an application is only available on Windoze), and it's what we use at
work. That OS is perfectly OK, as long as you ignore the financial aspect of 'everything is extra'. I also have a laptop supplied by my
company that runs Vista - I hate it, for all the same reasons mentioned previously - the way it nanny's every single action.
Our company has skipped Vista entirely for its office machines - we're shortly changing from XP straight to Windoze 7, so obviously our very
tough IT bods were impressed.

But when you turn user account control of it tells you "UAC is turned off" each time instead.
