Re: Win7 and XP

Jon,


I didn't write that, I was quoting Kari, in order to DISAGREE with
him.


I have used (and still have on my 64-bit version) XP Mode, Parallels, and
the "Player" thing (forget what it's called). They each have
pluses and minuses. They are all a little troublesome to install. I
decided to go with 32-bit Win7 and am very happy with that. No barrier
(other than the built-in NTVDM.EXE) between you and XyWrite.

Harry, can you give us a
step-by-step for installing this? I'm using XP Mode in Win7 and I'm
wondering what the advantages are for Virtual PC, besides the difference
between a 30MB program and a 250MB program.

The most nimble solution is, of course, VirtualPC 2007 with DOS
additions

from VPC 2004 and MS-DOS and Win 3.1x for DOS box windowing support.


For nimbleness, I don't think you can beat Win 7 32-bit. No
separation

between Xy and all the other features of Win 7.
