Aren't you still limited to 3 or 4gb of ram with XP? I can't remember what the limit was.
You can also disable all the xtras of win7 and get it a little faster. But if you have a new laptop and plenty of cpu and ram you should not have any problems. I have come to really like win7 pro.

I don't know that I've heard an "official" answer -- and in all likelihood it will continue to work even after support is ended -- but unless they've changed the requirements for Studio are W7 64-bit so while current tools are XP OK, the new tools -- if they're ever ready for prime time -- will not be supported on XP.
That said, I'm running XP on my work desktop (and personal laptop and personal desktop) & W7 Pro on my work laptop -- the work laptop is only slightly newer than the work desktop and it feels so much faster and more usable than the desktop. [and I find myself trying to do the WinKey+Left and WinKey+Right shortcuts on XP far too often] -- so it might be worth digging into your configuration and looking or any differences that may be contributing to your "slowness"

Subject: [Crestron] Win XP support
Is there any official Crestron statement on how much longer it will support XP ?
I want to know when some Crestron tool will not work on XP.
I prefer XP over Win 7. I have both installed on 2 separate SSD's on my laptop and XP is just faster for everything i do. Im thinking about buying a Win XP Pro 64 full install disc before they go away and I want to determine how much longer I will be able to use XP with Crestron.
