get linux
you should have no problems if you get a new OS all that will change is the OS drivers will stay the same and etc. I have laptop and had to put windows back on so i got a cracked version and the only problem was the version is desktop and i had to install a wifi driver that was close to the one i had thats pretty much it.
Win 98 > Vista.
And you're asking about 7?
