    « on: September 08, 2009, 11:43:12 PM »
    Could anyone help me with a query over the new windows 7? my son is on windows XP and l am linked to his computer via wireless and l am on vista,  if he bought windows 7 home premium and l bought windows professional (only because l've been told to get the pro. as it is only £10. more and does alot more) would they both work, l have been told they might not work as l am connected to another computer.

    Many thanks

      well, if I came to a forum and got your response... iId be pretty annoyed.

      if your planning on networking the two PCs afterwards, it should work- is the "windows professional" Windows XP?

      Win7 is not out yet...
      That being said it sounds like the network is not set up properly...
      Are both machines in the same workgroup ? ?
