If you have ever had to use Vista, you'll know how much of an improvement 7 is.
There are only two 32bit apps that won't run in 7 64bit for me (The Mercedes EPC, and the VW EPC (ETKA)). In that case I just fire up "Windows XP Mode", the free virtual machine you were talking about. Since I don't use those apps all the time it's hardly a bother.
What isn't running for you?

I agree that it's fast............with 8 gig, I won't suffer the annoying slowness that XP develops when the browser hogs 700 MB.
I still have a few very old DOS programs that I use periodically. I'd like to get them to work in the virtual machine if I can.
Any benefit of a command prompt on the Win7 side? I can't see how anyone can use it?
