Is Sonar 3 Windows 7-compatible?

Hi!

I have Sonar 3 Producer Edition and now a system with Windows XP. Because I should update my PC in future, I would like to buy Windows 7. Does anyone have experience if Sonar 3 works with Windows 7 without any compatibility issues?
My soundcard is M-Audio Audiophile 2496 and it seems to have drivers also for Windows 7.

Windows 7 seems to have 3 different versions of which 2 have "Windows XP compatibility mode". The two versions, however, cost a lot more than the cheapest version which doesn´t have that feature.

If someone has experience on Sonar 3 with Windows 7, I would be really glad to hear if it works or not!

Thanks!

    Why would you want to run an old obsolete version of Sonar on a thoroughbred of a Win7 box? If you're serious about your music and it seems you are considering you're putting serious money and research time into a new computer why not just pony-up and get Sonar 8.5? Lots of new toys in the box - full Dim Pro, really nice effects and a lot of other goodies.

    Once you do the upgrade to S8 I think you'll like it. I know I did, even though I'm still on S8.3.1. I have S3P and S5P and neither can hold a candle to S8.

    Compatibility mode would maybe run as fast as your current machine. And it also need some bios settings enabled to run virtually.

    Heavy realtime apps work smoother in w7-mode.

    I agree with former speaker, updates for Sonar are really cheap.
