right, lm contemplating putting money by for an OS upgrade.. mainly because l hear the new hard drive formats will suit a OS higher than XP better.
lve had a basic look at the following flavours
Home
Professional
Ultimate
but lm somewhat confused on certain aspects, mainly the reagion settings, you see while l have my system set to view menus etc in english l need japanese support for non-unicode programs that run in japanese based code/chars, in essence as long as l see english but can run japanese programs lm happy however l want to pick the best flavour of Win7 for the job and idealy the cheaper the better so l need to know if l go for one of the lower priced versions that l can use it how in a simular setup as l have with XP.
basically l wanna buy something thats highly useable and allows me the best access to my hardware/network settings while providing support for japanese based programs without turning the whole systems language into something l cant properly read yet :laugh:
