It is ridiculously slow! Every command or typed entry takes literally 20-40 seconds to process. Typing LINE at the command prompt takes about 20 seconds and then the command itself takes a while to get through. Is there something I did wrong in installing one or the other? Should I somehow install 2007 on Win7 but run it in XP mode (if that's possible)?
