We'll just have to see. I'm fairly hopeful on this point. All the code that I wrote back in 1993 for the original release of Windows NT still works flawlessly with Windows 7 64bit. In general, I think Microsoft does a very good job at maintaining backwards compatibility.
At this point, I don't have any plans on upgrading my own boxes from Windows 7 anytime soon. I'm feeling like a very old dog at the moment who is not anxious to learn the tricks of Metro...oops, 'Modern UI'. The big problem for me is that, living out in the sticks on the wrong side of the digital divide and relying on a flaky satellite based ISP, major OS & SDK upgrades are painfully slow and can sometimes chew up a month's worth of broadband in a couple of days. Thus my upgrade to OS X Mtn Lion is on the back burner too. I won't be spending any appreciable time in a bandwidth rich environment until the end of November. So, you're the dog now, man. Let me know how it works. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ gharris999's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=115 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48521 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
