Running it under VMWare might be a solution for some of us. Is there anyone doing this? If so, can you discuss how difficult (or easy) this is to do?
At one time I thought that for compatibility I would be running Linux as the host OS and then could run Windows Vista as a guest OS. This seemed ideal since I would have the stability of Linux with the ability to run the programs that will only be available on Windows for the foreseeable future. My current understanding is that MS will not permit running Vista as a guest on any virtualized environment:( That tells me they are scared of the competition. I do hope that more programmer's will be able to write cross platform programs, but not being a programmer, I understand it is still not easy to do even with the improved software. I try to keep in mind that when I am looking at new technology solutions that can be used for emergency communications, it has to be as simple as possible and is used by many others so that we can interoperate. 73, Rick, KV9U Per wrote: > There are no implementations for windows.
