Re: Question

Think of the PC/Laptop as a Car.

The CPU is the Engine.

There are a good few people who still like to tinker with the engine. Even if today it is just getting the EMS Remapped.

So move to the PC and replacing the CPU with a more modern one is like replacing the old 100bhp engine with one from the GT version that output 110bhp.

MS is akin to Ford/GM/whoever making it impossible to put the 110bhp engine into a car that left the factory with the 100bhp engine fitted by changing the engine mounting points and other stuff.

It sucks!

I'm so glad that I left MS behind last year. After 25 years of having to use MS crap for work, I'm free

Don't regret it one little bit.
