How about telling us what that 'stuff' is, as you are more familiar than I? Specifics would be nice. > It is not the first time that Vista FAILS with an otherwise working > software. True, but the applications need to keep up with the operating system, not the other-way-around. That's one of the reasons Windows has so many issues, the demand for backwards compatibility. If Microsoft would just start over, from scratch, and offer no recourse for older apps, then we'd have an O/S closer to what a modern PC can really do. 20 years ago, that would be the kiss-of-death for a company. But as ingrained as Windows O/S is, I imagine it would hardly dent their pocketbook. Anyway, we'll be booting to the Internet before long and what operating system your computer will run will be a moot point. Meanwhile, I can still do many things in seconds that takes even a skilled operator quite a bit longer in a Linux box. (For instance, try setting up dual monitors in Linux!) Yes, Windows isn't the most stable operating system. It is however, the most usable for the masses. No matter how skilled you are at your preferred O/S, you'll more likely sit down to a Windows PC vs any other flavor. Except maybe at your personal station/s. Anyway, that's not really the point here. I'm just trying to nail someone down with specifics of what MultiPSK offers that would make someone reconsider what they're currently using. > changing the car controls in a new car model, which requires a new > kind of highways. Keeping to the analogy: Besides looking funny, you'd be far behind if you relied on a freeway when the rest of us are driving hovercrafts! > Can you correctly guess now what is flawed? I doubt it's a flaw in strictest sense. Just a mis-translation. None of the other digital apps gave an error using the same O/S. > Beauty is on the eye of the beholder. And it does not tell the whole truth. No doubt. But layout counts towards usability. I prefer my old boat anchor due to it's signal quality and suburb reception. A newer radio would look nice, but offers little towards the two most important things: TX and RX! Again, no one has given specifics yet to what MultiPSK does better than other digital software? For the most common modes, it translates about as well as any other. What, besides the different modes available and costs, keeps one a die-hard MultiPSK fan? Frank, K2NCC Life is too short for CW, QRP and DOS!
