Yeah I used Winamp too, mainly I used sound cards in the past that
didn't work with anything but Winamp, some desktops replacements that
only worked with Winamp, and branded OEM that came with Winamp. It is
cute and bloated on all. The versions that I used never worked with
multimedia keyboards. But WMP always did. VLC does work with multimedia
keyboards too, but still can't hold a candle to WMP for flawless playback.

Winamp with the stock 2.x style interface works just fine, they did try
and screw it up when AOL took it over, but it's fine now


Well I am not a big fan of virtual machines whatsoever. I really don't
see the point of them at all. But I am sitting here with over 30+
machines, so it really makes no sense to me at all. And anything that
makes performance worse than before can't be good.

I used the VM because I didn't want to upgrade anything to a beta version
and wanted to see how it works.

Well I have 30+ machines, but even if I only had one machine... a spare
drive would solve that problem.

That would require more effort than I was putting into it at the time.
Oh, and that I had a spare drive.


This requires you have a spare machine that you can install it on
and wipe out and reinstall if you run into issues.

In this day and age, I can't see anybody being stuck with one machine
anymore.

Maybe if they were home where all their hardware is, sure.

Oh come on! An OS without some sort of text editor?

I dunno, it's a PITA to type on these things anyway

There's also no shell, unless you install the adb on your computer and hook
into it via USB

You're kidding? Heck why bother with an Android at all? Why not just get
virtually any PC tablet and throw Ubuntu on it (or your favorite distro)
and be far ahead of the game without all of the limitations of the
Android? The Android reminds me so much like being stuck with Windows 8
Metro (aka Windows RT) and you can't go anywhere else (at least not very
easily without some sort of hack).

That's kind of the point, "it just works"
