WB 7 - what's in it for XP users?

from Stardock Forums

In the info about WB 7, a lot of mention is made of features for Vista & Windows 7 users, such as the Aero interface.

Aside from a new interface, is there much in the release that can be used win XP? I'm running WB 6.4 Build 73 x86 under XP SP 3. Are there any new requirements for WB 7 with this version of the operating system?

 

Thanks in advance.

Skins like Sublime or the Flex skins only work right in XP when used with WB7.

The texturing feature is new in WB7 and works on XP.  As does the new UI.

If you are unsure you could always uninstall WB 6.4, reboot and try the WB7 trial.  Obviously it doesn't have all the features enabled, but it should give you a good idea of whats new.

Followup - if I can run WB 6 on my system, will I be able to run WB 7 with no problem?
