Re: Leaving XP for Windows 7 at last

Lynn,

If you put Windows XP in a virtual machine on your computer, you can
have the XP running XyWrite and 7 controlling everything else.

Subject: Leaving XP for Windows 7 at last

I'm on the cusp of reluctantly leaving XP a year and a half after MS
abandoned it. I've felt relatively safe despite the lack of support,
since I have good security software and no bad browsing or downloading
habits, and took the precaution of removing notorious virus-magnets
(Adobe Flash and Java).

I'm still conflicted about the move, since I have Xy III+ doing what I
want in XP, and no complaints about its Windows functions. But I know I
can't stay with XP indefinitely, and next week I'll have some free time
in which to wrestle Windows 7 into running Xywrite (and into looking as
much like XP as possible).


I'm going to stick with 32-bit for now. I don't do anything on this
computer that needs more memory.


From list discussions, it sounds as if my simplest options probably are
either to run Xywrite with TAME (as I now do in XP), or to run it with
vDosXY.=20


My first question: Is there a consensus about which version of vDosXY
works best?=20
