Microsoft could re-think plans to phase out its Windows XP operating system by June 30 if customers show they want to keep it but so far they have not, Chief Executive Steve Ballmer said.

if you aren't ready to move across to Vista it will be in your interest to let Microsoft know.

Does ultrasite run on Linux?
.... though to be honest I don't know if it runs on Vista.
I'm sure there's a lot of older control software that's not supported by Vista

Yes but why would you? Having said that I'm writing this on an old laptop running 98se. I've got 4 different communication programs running on it for the local supermarkets.

Does anyone use Linux for working on control systems? We have a few lower end laptops in my office that we were thinking about putting Linux on with some kind of Windows emulator like Wine.

Thanks

A bunch called Phasefail supply supermarkets with computers with their pressnet communication software running on Red Hat. It interfaces with their prescon control system. The pressnet client is a free download and is written in Java so I think it's cross platform. I could be wrong about that though.

Dell and some other PC manufacturers are planning on selling computers with XP for the foreseeable future.

re: Vista
Works fine on my home system. Works great on the three or four laptops I've seen. Unfortunately my CCN service tool no workie on Vista. A few other important proggies are busted too. Must have XP until Carrier, Trane, and a few others get off their a##e#.
