Dear Ondrej,

I would be extremely careful with this project. Although we never tried to
switch to Win 7 but a couple of years ago we tried to exchange a computer
under XP and failed (and if I remember correctly, other people on this
listed reported similar difficulties). Theoretically everything should
have worked, still we couldn't get the system running. So at the end we
ended up by paying Leica approx. 10000 EUR for a no-name computer the
value of which was less then 700 EUR. The same upgrade (if we would have
chosen a HP computer) would have costed 13000 EUR. I would estimate that a
switch to Windows 7 will be even more complicated.

Greetings     Gabor
