I'm going to be in the same position soon.

One issue that bothers me is the printer driver compatibility for my old 7500 and probably other printers.  I haven't even checked the situation for my Nikon 8000 scanner.  But if Vista can't run these things, a Mac that can run XP or a cheap XP laptop might be needed.

It turns out there is a way to run the 7500 with Vista 32.  Bob Shram on the Epson Wide Format forum at http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/EpsonWideFormat/message/88351 published a clever work-around that allows my Vista 32 laptop to driver the old printer.  Whether there is a similar work-around for Vista 64 is something I'd like to know.
