Hi Alberto
Yes I deliberately posted a very clipped OT comment so as not to start a
tirade. Thanks. Why do the insults have to start flying when you mention
Windows and its foibles.
There is till backward compatability which constrains Windows.
I said nothing about Linux.
It does really surprise me how the younger generation accept an OS that
has so many problems then argue in support of it. I hope they do not
expect the same reliability from the ILS computer that brings them down
in fog at the airport.

Hmm. I do see problems all the time, slow machines,viruses, trojans,

No problems with SpecLab, I bet Wolf has lots to work round. SpecLab
still does silly things due to Windows O/S.
You must be a Linux fan.... :-) Knowing almost nothing about Windows....
The last version of Windows that was Dos based was Windows 95-98
Starting from Win NT,XP, etc. there is no more an underlying Dos layer...
And Windows 7 is even better. I have on my PC a triple boot, Win XP Pro,
64-bit Windows 7, and a special version of Debian Linux (Sidux).
Each time I boot Linux I can observe, on the very same hardware, how much
sluggish is its responsivness in the GUI, with respect to Win 7....
IMHO Linux is a great operating systems, as long as you use it for servers.
In that role it is maybe the best. But it won't ever win the desktop war...
when a window takes the double of the time to open than under Win 7, you feel
compelled to reboot with this last opsys.
Oh, BTW, I have also a laptop with only a 64-bit Win 7. This laptop does not
have a RESET button, but I have never felt the lack of it.
