Starting to feel like an old fart talking about the goode olde days and having to walk to school: up-hill both ways, in the snow while dodging dinosaurs. You kids have it so much easier these days.  |
Fair point about VM options. Though it won't cover Auto hot key for example, or games; or maybe heavy duty programs like image editing behomoths? And again, wine etc may not be an easy option for the less skilled user. It's adds a layer of complexity some will find hard to navigate. And of course it will on occasion produce execution issues, agagain, something some people will find hard. Just saying, the need for knowledge quotient is rising. So fair point, but I disagree. Vm and running windows apps in Linux does not dismiss my end user / system point.
