I should add that I use the Sumatra PDF reader on Windows as it is the only PDF reader I have found on Windows which correctly renders my Therion generated PDFs without locking the file. So I can recompile my projects without needing to close the PDF viewer and the PDF is refreshed in the Sumatra window automatically, making for a much smoother workflow.

I have been using most of those applications on Windows 7 on both 32bit and 64bit machines with no problems for several years. My recent upgrade of a laptop to Windows 8 resulted in me being unable to run either Aven (the Survex model viewer) or Loch. But the recent free upgrade to Windows 8.1 fixed both those issues for me (an some other graphics rendering applications which had the same issue of crashing on launch). So now I am seeing no issues with any of these applications on Windows 8.1 (32 bit) on the laptop.

I’m staring down the barrel of having to migrate away from Windows XP.
To help me get started on the decision making process, are there any tales of terror or reassurance from the Therion family of application users with Win7 or Win8.1?
To name a few applications that need to integrate well, a text editor (in my case Notepad++), Therion, Survex, PocketTopo, Topparser and Foxit or Adobe pdf readers.
For example Michael had (has?) a problem where Win7 will not open thconfig files from the os explorer window, whereas windows xp works fine. I think it gets stuck with wish84 as I mentioned on http://therion.speleo.sk/wiki/doku.php/windows
