Not really. I see none of that. It's very easy to filter that stuff
out, which leaves you with a good amount of interesting content.

I have found that most things that run in XP run well in Win7 also. I have
Office 2003 on mine which runs just fine, no problems that are Win7 related.
I have some older utilities and games that were ME/2k/XP compatible that
also run fine on Win7. Unless you have some REALLY old programs, you
shouldn't have any insurmountable problems making them run on Win7. You
could try a search for Windows 7 and whatever programs you're concerned
about and see what results other people are having.

alt.windows7.general is hijacked by a bunch of lunatics and all
you get is words that cannot be repeated here due to censorship by
Micro$! A novice is not advised to go there.
