Msg: Re: Win 8 v. Win 7

Must have missed that one. Let us know what you find out. Incidentally, I did see that this site also has Xy 4.7. We still have the XyWrite.Com site set up by Brian for such things, but it's nice to see that isn't the only source.

page at the site: a prepared VMware VM of W2K sp4 which, however, is
3 times the size at 929 MB. I am going to download and test that just
to see if it might be a convenience.
