Edge Evo update 1,000,000

Since I'm sure you've all seen this a million times I'll keep it short.
How does a company sell a product you can only update with a 5 year old computer? Seriously no windows 7 compatible software?

I guess the old computers aren't quite so obsolete after all!

It WOULD work on a PC running Win 7 Professional (and above) with XP as a "virtual machine" on it.

There's actually a lot of problems with legacy applications though in the new OS. It won't even run Office 2000 as far as I know. The 64-bit addressing seems to be the root cause of the problem.

I'm sure Edge WILL eventually generate a 64-bit version of Fusion, but it's probably very low on their list of priorities. Most people have access to an XP machine through friends or relatives.
