Sorry about that Bob. I noticed that after I posted this. It was there and they pulled the article. The site is owned by softonic. The company working with Open AI and MS on the Stargate project. Apparently they didn’t like that article pushing Linux...

I still use WIN10. I cannot get these updates installed. I have tried YouTube and other means and no luck.

That’s because Edge is just Google Chrome with a new paint job and the serial numbers filed off.

Windows 3.11 for Workgroups forever!!!

Yup, Two of our machines are on 10, my laptop is on release 7. Still works fine.

Windows 10/11 ... PING!

You can find all the Windows Ping list threads with FR search: just search on keyword "windowspinglist".

Thanks to ShadowAce for the ping!

I still have a W7 Dell laptop.

Mostly to play Battlefield 1942 and W7 chess.

It’s on a docking station with a pair of 34” curved monitors.

That’s kind of how it is with me.

I bought a Mac for Final Cut and photo editing. The Mac is usually doing something along those lines when it’s running which is constantly.

The Mac simply runs and runs.

I have some Linux distros on virtual box on the W11 laptop, another W11 that almost never gets used, and Mint on a hand-me down laptop that I use some.

“... until they come out with a Windows 12.”

You do realize that if there is a WinDoze 12 it will be even more restrictive and intrusive than W11 is now. The M$ business plan is to eventually get all users into full annual subscription mode. One can easily project a future where your computer related subscription fees for all your systems may exceed your car payment.

Thanks for the info. I installed WINE and it didn’t work. I will look into your suggestion. It sounds like it is what I am looking for.

The advanced modes for MRI software run only from a CD. I think it has to do with licensing. In Windows, I get around that buy having the hospital create a disk with the specific dates I want to analyze.

[Dutch Boy]

Try Audacity. It might have the features you are looking for.

I was forced to upgrade to Win11, but I use mods like Simple Classic Theme to maintain a Win7/WinXP interface.

DirectX
Direct3d
Is there a way around that stuff?

[Thank You Rush]

Good question....How long will it take to get an answer, I wonder?

“”I still miss DOS””

That’s a joke, right?
