Fred,

Who cares,,,, It's gonna be a DOG anyway

Soon there will be no choice.

I also heard elsewhere that Microsoft pulled all the remaining copies
of XP Pro off the retail shelves recently (though I haven't checked
that myself).

What this means is there is going to be an active 2nd Market in copies
of Windows XP Pro.

I can understand MS's dilemma. Without adoption of VISTA, MS's growth
and profits will start to drop significantly, after putting in
billions on VISTA & MS Office, so they risk it all by pulling XP
Pro.

It sure seems like to me that they make their greatest risk in the 3rd
world, where the average price of new VISTA boxes is likely to rise,
given higher hardware costs & where MS's growth could be the highest,
if MS PCs are bought.

I has to be tough to try to hold onto postion of "King of the
Mountain". If MS can pull this off over the next few years, Ballmer's
head is going to grow even larger, and the chair replacement budget in
Redmond will balloon.

After installing Mandriva Linux at work and asking people what version
of Windows I was running I am convinced that MSoft has opened a
Pandora's box for themselves.

 

So you are now running a Pandora Box at work?

Is the free version worth trying out?
I just tried the download link and nothing happens.

Is there anything on the horizon wherein an emulation could run swx on a
linux box?

How about on macs?

Parallels software can possibly run SolidWorks on Linux, but I don't
know how speedy it would be or how well the graphics would work.

I think the MACS do pretty well in Boot Camp.

 

Indeed when I go "out" I use a first gen. MacBook Pro w/2.16 Ghz Core
Duo, where Windows XP Pro runs native on its own NTFS partition with
SolidWorks 2006 and MSOffice. It runs very well for my small numbers
of parts (at least compared to other users on the Newsgroup that do
large assembly machines with hundreds to thousands of parts).

My only downside I see is using a few workarounds for the Mac
keyboard, or using a small Adesso miniPC external keyboard, if I know
I am going to do a lot of work in the field.

I use a miniature RadTech BT500 wireless 3 button mouse w/scroll wheel
and that is great for me.
