You *do* realize how inane that sounds, don't you?

The OS doesn't work, so I have to use a proprietary platform to imitate other versions of the OS a lot. Other than that, it's great.

It's like saying your wife is great, but due to compatibility issues you need to keep several mistresses around. Other than that, she's great.

Cheers!

The OS works. It just doesn’t support old software well if at all.

Much of the “old” software I’m talking about was written 10+ years ago and there are no replacements for. Specifically they are engineering programs designed to solve specific engineering problems.

For all the normal things people do there are few issues.

For anyone who primarily uses the software that comes with the computer or software that is downloaded off the Web that is current it isn’t a problem.

There is a difference.
