What do you guys recommend I do? If everything can work on Windows 7, it would be advantageous for me to use Windows 7 as I have more RAM dedicated to it as well as the simplicity of not having to install on a virtual machine. But if it works better on XP, then I will install on XP.

Thanks,
Andrew
I think the general consensus is that XP works best but some other Windows versions like 7 do work.
