    Upgrade 200 XP machines to Win7 Pro


    I am about to upgrade around 200 XP machines (laptop and desktops) to Windows 7 Pro. I would love to hear some of the best options for this? Any suggestion would be much appreciated! Thanks.

    There is only one option. That is a Clean install of Win 7. Even if you start the upgrade install from inside XP it will still only install 7 clean in a new Windows folder on the drive, saving the old XP install to a folder called something like Windows.Old.

    There is No direct upgrade path from XP.

I use mainly Winamp for audio and VLC for video. I have music that I've played on my XP machine transferred onto my Win7 Machine, and it won't play on the Win7 machine. To my knowledge Winamp and VLC both should have flac playback. Kinda curious as to what's going on. :(
I am having problems with connecting my new win 7 computer to my network (all of which are XP). I cannot access my network drive or for some strange reason Outlook. Any suggestions? thanks Brian
