There is a difference between 'works' and 'supports.'

very true :) Well I just wanted to point out that vista "support" isn't the big thing on vmware 6.0 .. other features are more important. Like Increased RAM Support, Support for High-Speed USB 2.0 Devices, Cross-Platform Drag-and-Drop Functionality, Run Virtual Machines in the Background, Automatic Update to the Latest Version of VMware Tools etc etc.

    • Microsoft releases major feature updates for stock Windows 11 apps

      Since they open sourced the calculator in Win 10/11 it is much better and can do a lot, I love it.
    • Using Windows 10 past its end of support date, is it really that bad?

      That's just silly imo. The lengths that man goes to just to avoid W11 is just nuts. Very, very few home users would do that. I will say this though, he is committed. Btw, I note on askwoody that Woody Leonhard passed away March, 2025 aged 73. His site was one of my favorites back in the day. Belated yes but RIP Woody.

      Because of the EU (a good thing) newer android devices been getting 5 years worth of security patches. Except some Motorola which found the loop hole, and offer ZERO updates. In addition, Google for years have been making where it can patch some stuff by updating the core Google Play Store itself.  As echoed earlier,  you take the security risk in to your own hand beyond supported.
