So it goes like this. I've got four hard drives - two Seagate 320GB drives for apps and data, and two Western Digi 36GB Raptors that I've been using as OS drives. Small drives, fast boot times, you know the routine. Up until this point, I've been using XP almost exclusively because Creative had proper XP drivers for my sound card. I've put $250 into my sound system, and for the longest time, it sounded like junk on Windows 7, so I couldn't dump XP. Yes, sound really does bother me that much. Anyway, Creative finally fixed this, so I have no outstanding reasons for tying myself to XP anymore. Should I say "screw it" and trash the XP install and use that drive as an uber-fast applications drive? Things like Visual Studio that need all the power they can get..

Also, it's worth mentioning that I do have a fully licensed copy of Vista Ultimate, since it seems MS is actually gonna go through with the free Vista-to-7 upgrade plan...

What do you think? Should I do it?
