Does anyone know about this software? It is proprietary and I bet it's
expensive. The software allows connection to a network analyzer which
is used for RF tuning. Labview 2010 works with Windows 7 down to
Windows 2000. I have a copy of that to work with. Thing is, it's
difficult to get Windows 7 activated these days where Microsoft is
planning on cutting off support for 7 soon. At least Windows 2000 is
pre activation crap and pre Microsoft can get on your computer without
warning at any time. I bet when ReactOS stabilizes that labview will
work with it. That may be a decade from now sadly :-(
Apparently, the linux tgz installer supports CentOS 7, though I'd
prefer an RPM to a tgz. Come on National Instruments, use the system's
package manager if you are charging $1k+ per installation.
A network analyzer is a highly modified Windows PC typically. One of
the analyzers at work is an E5071B with Windows 2000 Pro on it. To
give you an idea, these network analyzers aren't cheap. Spending $4k+
on one is not uncommon, so you don't replace them often.

Aside: Not all PCs have touchscreens where Windows 8, 8.1, and 10 are
designed for touchscreens. Windows 10 is a privacy nightmere
because of the we can muck around on your computer in the EULA.
National Instruments labview 2018 will work on Windows 10, but
Windows 10 seems more like a consumer product than an
industrial instrument platform.
Would anyone want Windows 11 if they could keep the computer
hardware, switch to Linux, and get a refund for the Windows
license? Microsoft has crossed a line, but computer builders
by and large build Windows PCs. If only the ReactOS project
would move faster.
