Yet another Ecco question

Ecco - the software that would not die. I need to update my wife’s computer which is still running XP, and this has caused a bit of CRIMPing and GAS (Gear Acquisition Syndrome) to come forth, especialy since XP’s life is rapidly running out, if it is not already out.

I’ll spare the GAS details, but in my researching of options for my wife’s computer, Ecco crossed my mind because the stock program does not easily install in Win7 and beyond without modification. I was considering installing XP Mode on my machine to see if that was workable, but it seems to be somewhat involved, and I am not sure if Ecco will work in this environment. I also see that the folks in the two Yahoo groups continue to modify the original program, and are installing it in Win 7 and 8. Has anybody used XP Mode or the “extended” version of Ecco that is being offered? If so, what are your thoughts?
