All my machines now on 2.6, including the virtual and notebooks. Upgraded with no problems, just have to remember up update, upgrade, boot, update.
LL is really looking professional now, and if more organisations knew of it, I'm sure they'd seriously consider it. Maybe even including the UK NHS, Government and Police forces, many of which are still paying M$ for XP support.
Still believe the 'Raleigh' should be the default appearance, with it's Windows like scroll bars, but at least it's there for selection, once people realise it's got bars.
I've decided that my present Windows 7 is the last Windows I'll buy, so it's no go to Windows 10, and no worries about having to throw out propitiatory software because of driver incompatibilities, yet again. That's something I don't think M$ ever factors in properly.
Anyway, I have a new home brew machine in the pipeline, based on another Mini-ITX, but with 16 GB of memory,just the 2 TB drive to get. I intend on running LL as the main operating system, supporting XP (without net access) in Virtualbox configured with 2 X 500GB drives. Most of my virtual machine work so far has been with VMware on Windows 7, so hope the intended Virtualbox configuration works okay.
Why am I still going to use XP? ,
to support Winamp, with a large music library. It's the only Windows program I can't do without.

I know you believe you understand what you think I said. But I'm not sure you realise that what you heard is not what I meant.
