    Why has Microsoft decided that old video games, some made by Microsoft should be allowed to...


    I have several video that I enjoy very much, but microsoft has evidently decided that these older games should be played on windows 10. I suppose it is so that you guys can redo them in format WILL play in windows 10 and you can make even more money, (that is sarcasm). But it does not make sense to not allow these games to be played. Please revert back to where games are playable again.

    :)

    Windows 7 RC1 available for download from MICROSOFT!!!!!!

    Been running RC1 for 3 1/2 days now and kinda like it. Although I want a perm. OS and I only have a truely perm key for Vista HomePrem so back to Vista for now. Cya Win7 when you come out. (Microsoft, PLEASE offer a step up program for those who decided to take the Vista plunge. $74.99 for the upgrade from Vista Home Premium to Win7 Home Premium or w/e the SKU match it is. Just a suggestion. *Toast :toast: )

    Microsoft signals end of Paint program

    Microsoft has confirmed that it will continue to offer its graphics program Paint.

    In a recent update, it had listed Paint as a feature that would be either removed or no longer developed.

    Paint, renowned for its simplicity, has been part of the Windows operating system since its launch in 1985.

    Microsoft suggested it would not remain on Windows 10 by default but did say it would be available for free on the Windows Store.
