Running SW08 in Windows 7 64 bit

Has anyone tried to run SW08 in Windows 7 64 bit?  I'm currently running vista ultimate 64 bit and having lots of issues.  None of them involve SW, but they make using most of my other programs a pain.  A friend suggested upgrading to windows 7 (I bout the computer with vista specifically to run SW08, but also purchased the windows 7 upgrade for when I eventually upgrade SW) and running SW in XP compatability mode.  Has anyone tried this or have any reason to think why this would be a horrible idea?SolidworksGeneral
