My advice: buy a computer with Windows 7 Professional with the option to downgrade to Windows XP Professional. Corporate buyers like these for downward compatibility. If your apps do not require W7, you do not really need it, except for eye candy.
Does such an option exist? And suppose one would rather downgrade to Vista? Don't laugh; as I've said, I really like the live partition option, which is not in XP, and in my experience it handles USB and SD drives better than XP, which can get terminally confused if you have 2 SD drives in the system (one of them in a USB adaptor), or if you try to use a printer and a modem, at different times, on the same USB port. Of course you have to turn off UAC and clean out the eye candy.
