Personally I think win 7 is far better than xp ever could be. I've had win7 on my laptop since 2011 but only recently had it put on my main machine. It's far more stable to be honest and I should have done it long ago.

Actually I've setup my wife's machine with windows 7, and have had to do a lot of configuration, and have had nothing but problems, the os seems intrinsically flawed to me in it's view, it's display, not to mention needlessly complex in many areas (why the hell we don't have outlook express anymore and what the hell is going on with downloads). Since finally! we're getting to the point that xp is becoming mildly inconvenient to use with things like youtube I do plan to get a windows 10 machine later this year when I've finished my doctorate since I'll need office 2003 until then, (I don't like the idea but we must all bow to the wishes of almighty microsoft and it can't be worse than what I've observed of win 7), however I still would much prefer to use xp, and would be happier if programs like bgt could support it since I do plan to keep my xp laptop running for other stuff and I do know I'm not the only person in this position. Everyone is free to say "microsoft! doesn't support xp" without considering whether we! should support microsoft, indeed it irritates me that I'm being forced to accept something I don't want just because some fat cat coorporation wants more money and finds it easier to break something which has worked perfectly well for 17 years including all copatibility than to actually make something that is practically any better. All the best, DArk. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jody McKinniss" <jlove42...@gmail.com> To: "Gamers Discussion list" <gamers@audyssey.org> Sent: Thursday, July 21, 2016 5:57 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] VGStorm Presents Manamon, a new fully featured RPG! > For all those posting about the Windows XP bug, my main question is, > why in the world are you still running XP?
