believe that
Windows flaws exist per se and are not a result of agreements with somebody
else, as some conspiracy theories state.
Just in case, it is safer to use a third party firewall, or run a

I don't know what you're background in the computer field is, and I
don't mean to turn this into a resume review, but I've been writing
operating systems and OS-level components since, oh, 1978. Your

Like most things, both posters reflect truth as they see it. Perhaps the
same for me:)
Microsoft happened to be in the right place at the right time to buy an
OS from a third party to allow IBM 808x chips to at least work at a
rudimentary level. Cassette tape loading, that sort of thing at fir

I have been following this thread. Is the fact that a number of
applications will "break" with Vista a problem? Of course it is. But
this has been the case for the last several (many) versions of MS
Windows, and most other operating system upgrades as well.
But before condemning Microsoft for brea
Interesting. Run PSK on AM and you get two sidebands for diversity
reception and a pilot carrier. This could make building small PSK rigs

this support. the XP code still works but one really should use the new
APIs.
Other than that I don't see any problems with running c
