Hi folks,
This may seem like blasphemy, but might also be a sane solution for
those who try it and it just won't go...................
It appears I can either:
1. Spend untold time hoping for a fix ( a week spent looking so far!)
2. Buy a lot of new stuff ( what do I do with the old?)
3. Quit and go back ( not an option!! :-) )
4. Compromise....... Win4Lin or VM or WINE or XP86 whatever it is.
The most logical move financially and timewise seems Win4Lin or
similar.
Anyone with handson experience of any of the above I would appreciate
your help.
WINE is free. Can't get any sense out of it as far as applications
etc go - except I just found that it is what runs Websphere on
Linux!! ( I have it) Have no idea how to test it or run progs
under it.
XP86/BOSH . Not able to comprehend it either, Civileme says it has
promise, but I could not find out anything usable about it on its
Site. Also Free. No idea how to run/test it either
VM is dearest by miles. Not sure of this one - seems to be similar
in CPU demand to Windoze .
Win4Lin is around $80. Seems to be a simple gui install.Claims to
do everything one could need - IF stuck with Windows apps.
I apparently am.
I NEED Voice Dictation. Am going nutz fighting M8 without it now.
M8 wont talk to my Sound.
I NEED either FrontPage 2000 or the Windoze version of Websphere at
least. - the Linux/wine version is too cut down and painfully
slow..... The GNU ones are too stripped down no extras.
I NEED decent onscreen fonts - I work loong hours on the screen.
I NEED GOOD printer output.
I NEED a Scanner
