Thanks for the update and for the work in building the new instance!

I’ll be keeping my eyes open for further news.

It was when the third or fourth thing ended up persistently broken after an update and the whole system became too much of a pain to use. I honestly don’t recall if it was XP or Win 7.

I had used a couple of Linux flavours before for a short periods and originally planned to dual boot, but this time, just never got around to putting a new Win partition on and found that I had no need for it anyway.

I am pleasantly surprised that it got through. However, I think that the devil is in the detail:

Immediately, politicians started voting on more than 100 amendments to make the plan more flexible.

We’ll have to wait and see how much value is left following this teeth-pulling exercise.
