I am getting a new computer in February, but I have no clue which version of Windows I should choose. I heard Windows 7 takes less ressources than Vista, but some games still won't run on it. I also heard that 32 bit runs fewer games than 64 bit Windows 7. But if I use 64, will I have problems with TiLP and the like?

Cool thanks for the info. ^^

Lol, I had thoughts about switching to Linux but only to some conditions:

1) No dual-booting. I lost track of how many of my online friends who ended up breaking their windows install due to Linux glitching up or vice versa on their machine. Even some Linux junkies had similar trouble. I'm not taking any chance here because I'm not computer litterate.

2) Keeping a computer at home that has Windows installed. I'm not going to completly switch to Linux, because I keep hearing people complaining that they cannot find softwares for what they want to do under Linux, or they're very buggy. As I also play online games sometimes, Wine may not always be reliable *cough*Starcraft BattleNET*cough*. Another issue is that certain Windows programs don't run properly in Wine, such as RPG Maker database editor menus (I forgot which version of RPG Maker. I would need to ask Tribal).

So basically, until I get a new PC (and back up my projects/work on the new one), I'm not planning to use Linux on this old machine. Also I will most likely start with Ubuntu as it is supposedly user-friendly.

lol, well we have two vista's and three XP's and I can't wait to get my own laptop so I can install windows 7 and some version of unix on it :p

on a side note about the http://www.blogsdna.com/2775/install-unsigned-drivers-on-windows-7-vista-with-driver-signature-enforcement-overrider.htm  the program on this makes a annoying test mode thing in the bottom corner and is also a pita to get working at first it takes a lot of patience as you have to disable saftey checks then reboot
then patch the drivers reboot
then activate test mode reboot
and then it should be working 

Ubuntu is easy to install and multi boot.
And it deserves applauses of the changes in user friendliness from 8.10 to 9.10. It is easier to get used to most things (like you will not miss the "My Computer" shortcut like before).
 I should write a complete starter Linux tutorial. Some of the things it would include is getting used to the file system, command line, shell scripting (helps a lot) and getting used to superuser (root), users and make files executable. Surprisingly I think Linux command line is easier and scripts look better than of Windows (XP). It has other great features that once you get used, is a bit hard to get into Windows again.
I think I am practical enough to understand most starters problems (most of them I have to get pass through, too) but good in computers to get enough knowledge to share with tutorials and explanation.

I have Ubuntu, Windows 7 and Windows XP in a single computer. It is weird to get into Windows XP, I need to choose in 3 menus.
The only change I need to do after install Ubuntu was getting into BIOS and change the hard drive (not partition) where it boots. I though at first that had screwed the boot.
PS: sorry all the things you, possibly, can't understand yet...

It's been nearly one month since the previous build. I have now uploaded at http://lpg.ticalc.org/prj_tilp/download/setup.exe a new pre-version of TILP II 1.14

This build fixes the main annoyances of the previous build (well, those that can be fixed on the TILP side - the driver signing requirement on at least Seven x64 is still there, obviously, and will remain): it does not depend on the MSVC 2008 runtime anymore, it automatically downloads the appropriate GTK+ version. And it can speak French, too.

This build also integrates the new feature that was announced in another public place of the community: DirectLink USB ROM dumping for 84+(SE) calculators, courtesy of Brandon Wilson. Another word of thanks goes to Benjamin Moody, who saved me some time setting up everything for cross-MinGW to properly build TILP.
No more changes are planned until the release (pretty soon), it's in bug-fixing mode (and in quick, unimportant things such as Changelog file updates). So please give it a good testing, thanks in advance
