I'm not at all surprised, but I would say that it's probably 'steadily gaining share' purely due to the increasing cost of windows and Mach3 licences ... and the problems simply installing an embedded machine with windows these days. The new box I've just installed with a Via processor has loaded and I've got to the Mach3 stage in a couple of hours. Probably the fastest I've EVER done an XP box, but the important thing seems to be an SP3 install disk! Which only cost me £27 including the proper holographic label for a change. But I am going to dual boot the box now so LinuxCNC will be available as well ... no problems with graphics on this, it went straight to 1920x1200 without batting an eyelid - back on 1024x768 now. -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk Rainbow Digital Media - http://rainbowdigitalmedia.co.uk ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
