I appreciate the positive sentiment of your message, Drew, but this
sentence stood out and is worthy of note.  If you're posting to a
discussion group where you want help, you should make it as *easy as
possible* for someone to answer your question.  It is a *good* thing to
provide information to people so that they "[do] not need to think or
anything"!

You should not demand or expect that people go out of their way to
figure out what you mean, when it is simpler for you to explain it as
part of your enquiry.  Don't make your questions to discussion groups
intentionally unclear, Drew!

In short, always err on the side of "too much information" rather than
too little.

Cheers,

Dave.

As I said previously, the version of Windows is not usually discussed
(since it just depends on which updates have been installed) and you
would have got a better answer the first time if you'd included - for
example - "My version number is currently Version 6.1.7601 for my
Windows 7 Guest" in your original question.  That better question would
have got you a better answer.

Serious advice: whether you intend it or not, Drew, a large number of
your posts come across to many people here as impolite, aggressive &
demanding.  This is not generally the case with other posters.  The fact
that many people feel the same about your posts should tell you
something.

For example, here's how your current question could have been asked in a
better way.

Whereas your discussion went like this

You see the difference?  Your follow-up reply was inappropriate.  It
didn't actually explain what you wanted, it didn't help them to help
you, and it led to this ridiculous thread.

Hope this helps, genuinely.

Dave.

There is no commonly-accepted definition of 'version' with regard to
Windows, only "64-bit v 32-bit" and the Edition.

If you have some unusual definition of 'version' then you should explain
what that definition is.  Shouting at people - expecting them to
understand you - won't help.

You need to *ask a better question* rather than insulting the person
answering.

(etc.)

Dave.

It *completely* answers your question.  In the first line: "Only 64-bit
Windows 7 (any edition) is supported".  So you need Windows 7 64-bit,
but the edition doesn't matter (e.g. Home, Enterprise, whatever).

Again, that really *does* answer your question.  Windows 7 requires
drivers to be signed by a recognised certificate.  The Qubes Tools
drivers are *not* signed by a recognised certificate, so to make them
work one needs to toggle the TESTSIGNING flag so that Windows 7 no
longer cares about their certificates.

It sounds like the web site *does* include the information, you failed
to find it (or didn't look), someone answered by pointing you at the
right information and you merely insulted them in reply.  Glad to see
you're still trolling here, Drew... :-/

If you want something common to all your terminals, regardless of VM,
you can add a file to /etc/profile.d which includes all your common
content (e.g. aliases)

I use

/etc/profile.d/mystuff.sh

alias h=history ...

[I suppose that, by modifying the template in this manner, you might be
making your system more unique and therefore more identifiable if
there's a compromise.  Not an issue for me, but may be a concern for
some.]

Thanks, that does indeed seem reasonable given the maturity of the 3.2
release candidate.  Cheers :-)

I've got 3.0 and therefore need to upgrade.

I note that 3.2 is not quite final release: I'd prefer not to install
3.1 only to consider 3.2 almost immediately afterwards.

Given the EOL for Qubes 3.0, is the recommended "upgrade to a newer
release before 2016-09-09" really recommending the 3.2 release
candidate?

Cheers,

Dave.
