As soon as the inventory of Windows 7 is gone, new computers with Windows 7 is also gone. |

Back where? You can order a new machine with windows 7. I assume previously you could not. I could with Dell at end of 2012, glad I did, windows 7 professional is all I would ever need. If MS doesn't shape up, people may be inclined to switch to Linux. Ubuntu is really easy to install these days, so only problem is with apps you like to use. Office stuff is covered by LibreOffice without the ribbon bar. There is a Quicken replacement and more than adequate audio and multimedia stuff. For serious photo editing you will need to deal with Gimp. Scribus is a respectable DTP package, although I like Serif PagePlus. Serif PhotoPlus is also good although I use PSE 11. I believe I posted in a Linux group my lack of understanding of why more windows offerings from non MS folks aren't available for Linux. It surely can't be that hard to re-compile. Maybe it's a support thing. |

Not much of a "back by popular demand" which is what it says on their homepage. http://www.hp.com/country/us/en/hho/welcome.html |

After I posted it did occur to me the real reason for not porting is Linux users aren't used to paying for software, so they may not get much of that already small market share. I agree you can't import Quicken files so you would have to start new files. Not paying for software is but a part of it. When companies WERE interested in developing for GNU/Linux in the early 21st century, they were dismissed by users because their software wasn't open-source. Not only will they not pay for your software, but GNU/Linux will insist on sharing it free of charge with others. -- Silver Slimer GNU/Linux is Communism "However powerful and reliable Linux is, when it comes to user interaction (Such as the desktop) it's like having a washing machine with 100's of different wash cycles, the manual printed in Arabic and the sequence to set the thing going has to be entered manually in precisely the right order." - Desk Rabbit |

The accountant became an agent and set up his system with a later QB version. I changed hardware and had to buy an even later QB version. Neither I or the accountant could make the 3 versions use the same data. I went back to a simple spreadsheet, and gave the accountant paper printouts. |
