My business vendor (in New York) has a licence from Microsoft to downgrade preinstalled software from Vista to XP and refuses to sell any machine with Vista software for any business application. He also is of the opinion that businesses needing to upgrade should go directly to NT7 when that becomes available and that Microsoft accepts that this is what will have to happen.
Hello Tim, I use Win XP Pro (NT 5.1) and believe I can successfully avoid using Vista before Win NT 7 arrives sometime next year. I see no benefit whatsoever in using Vista - only lost time and frustration. Given the level of entrenchment of Win XP Pro in business, banking and government, I don't believe even Microsoft would dare to alienate a substantial portion of its revenue base by forcing users to move from Win XP Pro to Win NT 7 via Vista. I have experimented with Ubuntu, but I can find other things to do with my spare time and probably won't pursue that.
Regarding DOSBox, I use DOSBox only for the full-screen simulations (Signalboxes) and that was implemented without incident or complication at all. I keep my simulations under
The .conf file is as was issued. It works reliably and without trouble.
I have played with the IW32 sample and like the use of context menus but I am not really comfortable with the way that F1 is implemented - something more akin to the "working timetable" panel would be an improvement, I think. (It does seem perverse though that South is to the Right and North is to the Left though ! :) )

... I recently discovered that the config file doesn't have to be in the DOSBox folder. It can be anywhere, and named anything, so long as it's specified on...
Did you mean putting the Siam/Trains folder in the "Program Files" Folder rather than as a direct folder on the C Drive? Vista User Access Control puts some...
Hi everyone, Perhaps a simpler question would be: Is anyone still using earlier versions of Windows? The demo we wrote runs on any version from Win98SE onward....
