I've used Mach3 for years (on winXP). If you get mach and the pc setuup right it gives little to no problems. However it hasn't been developed or updated for at least 10 years. Support is limited to user based.

I've now been setting up UCCNC on my mill last week after updating my hardware.
So far it's proving a huge improvment over Mach3. You get support (I haven't needed any so far) and is constantly under development.
It's highly likely I won't go back to Mach.
