Re: Am I mistaken, or was .NET originally offered only as a "subscription"?

I've found Win7 slow when accessing my XP machine's external hard 
drive, as well as the internal hard drive. No problems, though, going 
the other way. Seems like the x64 OSs have difficulties managing files 
on x86 volumes. When I move the external drive from the XP machine to 
the Win7 machine it runs normal speed. (This is a powered drive, not a 
flash drive!) I don't have a 'server' as such as my network runs thru 
my router and so can't speak to any network configs outside that.

My Win8.1 machine hasn't displayed any querky behaviors as yet, but 
then I don't use it for much for anything other than travel access to 
email/internet. I've never liked the behavior of the x64 file explorers 
anyway so I use PowerDesk Pro. I can confirm, though, that files opened 
on the Win7 machine don't get released immediately when the using app 
quits or closes the file. In some cases I found a process kept the file 
open and so had to terminate the process via Task Manager before the 
other OS could do anything with the file.

Note that none of this had anything to do with VB6 apps!
