Just run Windows 10 in VM emulation mode.

You can run Windows in an OSX application window on your OSX desktop and it’ll only run 5%-10% slower than on dedicated PC-AT hardware.

I added Chrome Browser to Win 10 instead of IE. I use it with Norton Safe Search with my new Windows 10 on my old HP 7 Pavilion to surf the net and to keep one of my HP printers working with Google Cloud Print and the other HP printer working with my old HP PC. Comcast is my internet provider.

This combo is amazingly fast with my old pc that took forever to log on to Win 7 and whatever IE.

This combo may be as fast as my new Acer Chromebook 15 in finding and logging on to my favorite sites. Norton Safe Search learns your favorite sites and enables a safe connection after a few key strokes.

Using this combo has eliminated the learning curve re Win 10’s interface. I’m basically using the same interface/tabs/bookmarks I have been using with Chrome and my PC, the past 2-3 years.

The benefit is the speed of this new combo and what appears to be a more reliable pc without buying a new pc or spending a lot of bucks for it or updating it.

The Norton Safe Search keeps me away from bad sites.

So far the only downside has been Win 10 updates wiping out my Kindle Cloud on my pc each night. My Kindle Cloud is still available on my Acer Chromebook and Android Tablet, where I do most of my Kindle reading and studying.

I was thrilled to eliminate the Windows partition from my Mac.

Virus protection, gone.
Annoying, continual updates, gone.
Malware protection, gone.
Poor quality graphics, gone.
Need for continually updated drivers, gone.

It did run better on the Mac then on my dell computer, but that isn’t saying much.

Why would anybody with a sane mind want to infect their computer with anything produced by Microsoft. Really, are people that f-ing stupid?

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Google’s latest Chromebook laptop will be specially designed for corporate customers in an effort to get more workers off machines powered by Microsoft’s dominant Windows software.

The Chromebook unveiled Thursday will be made by Dell and will go on sale Sept. 17. Prices will range from $400 to $900, a step up from a line of bare-bones Chromebooks that have been selling for as low as $150 since Google teamed up with Hisense and Haier to make those devices.

The cheap Chromebooks have helped make the laptops popular in classrooms, but they haven’t made many inroads in offices.
