    Windows 7 Running an old 16-bit program under Windows 7

    Hi all, I have an ancient copy of Foxpro for Windows 2.6 from the early 1990s that I've moved from PC to PC over the years. I don't reinstall from original disks; I just copy the program's directory into \program files\ and it's worked fine on systems up to and including XP3. I did need to...

    Microsoft pulls Windows 7 Family Pack, so you can spend more for the holidays

    By Joe Wilcox, Betanews I've got a new spelling for "Scrooge." M-i-c-r-o-s-o-f-t. The company has ended the Windows 7 Family Pack promotion, which is a nice Ba Humbug to you and yours for the holidays. Sure, it could be good for Microsoft's bottom line and perhaps partners' PC sales. But for...

    Windows Vista Can I install the proper version yet?

    My "proper" version of Windows 7 Home arrived in the post today, presumably to beat the threatened UK postal strike. If I try to install it before Thursday is it likely to be successful, or must I wait until the official release date? Paul

    Windows 7 FREE SnagIt 7.25 Screen Capture

    VIDEO Vista and Leopard, the OS that nobody wanted

    http://community.winsupersite.com/blogs/paul/archive/2007/12/28/28-days-later-a-look-at-some-reviews-from-2007.aspx Well, I think a lot of it could have to do with that both OS'es were delayed by quite a bit, so people just got too used to the old ones. Though IMO, Vista is a good upgrade...
