No, I haven't. I generally restrict my comments to matters that concern me directly, and that I'm reasonably conversant with. That said, if I have a little time, I read current threads to "keep up". All I've managed to glean from yours are slightly snide innuendos against others. If you set yourself up as superior and oh so knowledgeable, at least have a grasp of the English language!

I was always brought up to be polite to others, and I won't reply to your rant in kind.

You seem to have made a habit of attacking other posters of late, so I don't take your rude remarks too personally. It's a shame that you don't actually have anything to add to discussions, just a wish to attack others. There's a name for that sort of behaviour....

Luckily there are a lot of posters here who are willing to take part in a reasonable discussion and have useful things to say (whether I agree with them or not).

I'd be grateful if you could try to avoid disrupting this thread further with off-topic interruptions.

In reply to a post by zyborg47:

It is good and that price is for all versions and all updates, mind you if you want to put it on more that one computer at a time it does cost more, but still good value.

I used it on Windows 10 which really made it better and I have it on my windows 8.1, whihc made the Os usable again.

Worth it at the price.

VM is a operating system running on a operating system, so you have to have iut running to run anything inside it

I used to use Virtual box as it was available for Linux as well, the same sort of thing as VM, but you can use any os you like, Virtual machines are not great, but they do service a purpose, you will not get the same performance than if you ran the Os directly on hardware.

So the VM installed on my computer isn't actually doing anything unless I open a programme in it and it's running ...something I've never had to do, so could probably uninstall it!

I used to use net objects years ago, those was the days when ISPs used to give away free webspace and when sites like Geocities used to be around. As i remember it was pretty good, but a mate of mine did not like it or any of these WYSIWYG web design software as he does it using HTML code using a text editor and he says the code they produce is naff. But it done me and I found learning Forth bad enough. I still have emails toi my old AOL email address from Netobjects, so they are still going. The company name is fusions.

My site was built with Trellix 2.7 - a colleague had used it for his, so was able to answer my questions and also helped get it live. That was years back, but it's still working OK ...touch wood!

That is a name from the past, I used to use it on Xp and windows 7 and one time when I reinstalled my computer I did not put it back on. i decided to have a look at it again and just reinstalled it as it also connects to my google calender; Very useful.

I've had it for years now and find it very good - changed to the 64bit version foc when I got this current computer.

The core of the Os is pretty good, it is fast and efficient, which makes a change for Microsoft. My problems with Windows are the spying in it and it being too invasive, I know people say that I have a Android phone and that is just as bad, but I expect it from a smart phone and it is my choice. The look of Windows 10 is awful and it is still not complete, the context menus are still a mess. Granted the start menu can be changed at the moment.

Suppose when the time comes, I'll have little choice, but I'm not keen on anything that 'spies' for a start!

I don't agree with the fact MS can now add what they like to windows 10 and say it is part of the service.
I don't like this integration, too much with one drive, skype and Ms wanting to keep your computer to their MS account all the time. While it is optional, again how long for?

I'm not happy with the level of control, and would certainly want to disable it.

I do not like the modern app or universal apps they are called now and I found when I used Windows 10 it took a long time to get it running how I like and getting files to open the software I like.

That's the side of it I really don't look forward to!

I got Windows 10 all nice and cosy, for me and then MS updated it in November and it knocked out all my defaults and settings. I do not like the forced downloads, Windows pro users have a bit more control, but home users have very little control.

I'll remember that and make sure I get pro again!
I've had no sign of being asked to upgrade this computer to W10 thankfully.
Not keen on updates either ..had two lots of them screw things up in the past so am very wary of them
I'd prefer if each one could be hovered over and show a brief description of what it does.
