We use Windows 7 and 10 machines (and one xp machine) with VDOS over network, 
with Linux Mint server using Samba.  It works well, my bookkeeper was glad to 
hear others were having delays in reports, she thought her new computer was 
bad.  

One version of VDOS caused an issue when other instances of Dataperfect were 
open, deleted one file (.str?), but that has since been fixed.  Seems like the 
latest version opens faster, but I would have a hard time verifying that.
