Msg: Re: Staying with XP after April 8 2014 (was Win 7 vs Win 8)

Kari replied thusly to me last March. I'm not at all sure it refers to the _same_ product, but I noticed this limited-time freebie this morning:

http://sharewareonsale.com/s/paragon-virtualization-manager-compact-sale

First issue: offer probably not applicable to those outside the U.S. (?)

Second issue: my just-updated Shockwave / Flash plug-in crashed at the page, while trying to sign up for this.

Third issue: despite a couple form-filling requests, they have _not_ sent me the promised Reg. Key.

As they say, Your Mileage May Vary.

Jordan,

Please read my post from March 27 entitled "Using Paragon Go [Virtual]
Free Edition". It does exactly what you are asking for, albeit there is
the problem of activating WinXP.
