Re: Leaving XP for Windows 7 at last

["Martin J. Osborne" osborne@xxxxxxxx]

I found the interaction between XyWrite and Windows in XP Mode to be
clumsy. It's seamless under vDosXy.

I can't do without some interaction between Xywrite and Windows: I write
and edit everything in Xywrite, then open Xywrite files in Notepad, and
copy and paste them into Word to email to my editors. I also use Notepad
as a conduit to save research material to Xywrite.

It's very convenient for me to have Xywrite, Notepad, Word, and Firefox
on the same desk top, where I can quickly move between them.

Could I do that if I ran Xywrite in a virtual machine?
