"...no more Acrobat Reader updates... "; excellent. "...ISO files can be mounted as a drive by a single click..."; catching up with Linux?...maybe no need for a emulator then? "...the Windows Phone Emulator won't run in 64-bit Windows..."; odd? VirtualBox?

Now the Desktop is readily available, finally a native PDF viewer (Reader) is at hand (no more Acrobat Reader updates), and ISO files can be mounted as a drive by a single click. But Flash is disabled in the Metro IE - for a good reason, many say - and the XNA Game Studio for Windows Phone is incompatible. Also, the Windows Phone Emulator won't run in 64-bit Windows 8 - and who would run 32-bit OS these days? Neither Windows XP Mode nor Virtual 2007 PC can be installed. You will have to use some other emulator. /gustav _______________________________________________ dba-Tech mailing list dba-Tech at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/dba-tech Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com
