Windows 7 is a great OS to use in general sense. But it does not provide the comfort and flexibility that XP does to programmers. Windows 7 does not support full screen mode, which renders several programs useless.
Some very useful programmes like QBASIC & Borland C can only start but not be able to run properly in Windows 7. This is because both are designed for older computers having a 16-bit architecture. Today's modern computers have 32-bit or 64-bit architecture of processors which cause compatibility problems.
The best way to overcome this problem is to create an 'old computer' inside your new one. There is a nifty tool called DOSbox that allows you to do it.
