Why Win7 Still to this day?
Windows7 was the last WinOS that wasn't more akin to malware, which I probably could stomach had they not destroyed the UI and nearly all 'New Generation Apps' that seem to cater to mouse-less users - with icons consuming obscene levels of UI real estate. I digress however... but to justify Win7's continued use when I could update to yet another OS that needs weekly updates... still digressing
Oh... and many users are caught between [Hardware manufacturers that won't update legacy drivers] and [OS manufacturers that won't support legacy OS].. in my case I have a few BMW's worth of studio equipment that largely depends on Win7.. with 98SE & XP even for a few PCI & ISA boards.... wow.. still digressing...
I'm fine with elder versions personally.. once something is working, I dare not touch it simply b/c I can.
THANKS to OP & Replies!!!!
I probably would have done the traditional thing and beat my head on it for a day or two b/c I'm building a GoldCopy system image and hate to leave loose ends that I'll be revisiting every time I blow in another image.
THANKS VBOX!! I'm still amazed the technology actually works & I can't imagine a world where bare metal would be required for all this.
