I am considering upgrading from my blue wishblade to the latest one.
1. Is the current software for the Wishblade and the Create & Cut software compatible with the Windows 7 operating system?
2. Are my .GSD files from the blue wishblade usable with the new software(s)?
3. Are the files on the SD cards (e.g. Wishblade Borders Shape Set) I purchased from Xyron for the blue wishblade usable with the new pink Wishblade?
I eagerly await your answer.

Windows 7 is not being released until October 22, that said as far as our most recent testing and the most recent available release to developers there are no issues with our current Create and Cut Plus. This is the same for Apple's Snow Leopard. You will not need to update your Wishblade machine unless it's time for a new one. The software will be the only thing necessary to change.
GSD files are currently not read by Create & Cut Plus but there is a way to get those files converted for use. Please look in the Tips section of the Wishblade Media Center (by clicking the pink wishblade tab at the top of the screen)
The files on the SD cards will be read by the current software and will then be cut.
It seems most of your questions are software related. There are very few differences between the blue and pink Wishblades, the software is the real difference. This will save you some money as well.
