I've been using The 64-bit version of Windows XP in a virtual machine for awhile now, and I find it faster and more usable than Windows 7 (even running in a virtual machine!). I almost want to make it my primary OS. But I have a modern computer that doesn't have Windows XP drivers designed for it. Will the Windows 7 drivers work without many issues?

No, the driver model for many hardware categories changed from XP to Vista so the same drivers won't work.
