Everything works fine.
If you don't use Windows 7, what are you using? Vista is a little slow and XP is dead.

Windows 7 is great for modding, and you can install Windows XP mode if some apps just won't run in Windows 7.

If XP is running great I wouldn't upgrade anytime soon unless you feel it's a must. I mainly have Windows 7 because the Windows XP drivers for my ATI card suck and most games that support DirectX 10 run smoother.
What hardware do you have anyway?

ah i see. Ive got a Pentium dual core e5200 @ 2.50Ghz, Nvidia Geforce 9600 GSO, 2.99g of Ram, and well over a Tb of hardrive space. it all runs just fine for me, was just wondering if windows 7 might be a better choice
