I bought a very cheap laptop recently and with it I got Vista even if I did not want any M$ product. Anyway then I decided to keep Vista to try it out. Yesterday I was going to install a favorite game Sherlock I have used off and on over the years. It is very good for kids to learn about einsteins puzzle. It is a Dos program and I have installed it in various flavors of Windows. Not now in Vista. It seems that Vista has abandoned Dos. The recommendation I got was to install M$ Virtual Machine and start Dos there. I retrieved M$ Virtual Machine only to discover it is not supported in the Vista Home Edition. I then looked for a new copy of Sherlock but for free was only a copy that needed to be paid for. Then I discovered a free program called http://demonews.com/downloadget.php?id=1220&file=9&evp=724e590e7277748b7c21aa3bd609f6f2 It is actually quite good. It is interesting that Vista does not support Dos anymore. I guess a lot of programs will have problem running under Vista. The majority of all Windows programs are really Dos programs. I guess this fact will move a lot of people over to Linux.
