Windows works well with Greenfoot for me and most others too. Is it weird to ask why some of you work with the latest Greenfoot, but with a Windows version from 10 years ago!!!

Hey colorful, nevermind, they appear to be the weirdos, they just don't give response here, I guess they're just a bunch of wimps. Maybe you should change your approach lol. There's a member hotrails who apparently knows how to shake the tree here. I'm looking forward to receive your latest update :))

Although the question is irrelevant for me now, I’ll appreciate your response. Do you know what motivates some of the members here to work with the latest Greenfoot environment, but with a Windows environment from 10 years ago?

I presume you mean "why do some people still use XP?" There's a number of reasons, from being forced to (if you only use Greenfoot at school for instance and all the school machines still run XP, what choice have you got?) to being lazy (upgrading your OS is much more time consuming and requires more effort than just installing a new version of Greenfoot) to compatibility reasons (the drivers for my onboard sound still seem to blue screen my box once in a while on 7) to expense (upgrading Windows costs most people money, Greenfoot is free) to just the desire to stick with what works (if everything I need to do works on XP fine, why bother upgrading?) I'm not saying all of those reasons are valid, and especially as security updates wind down for XP there's much less reason to stick with the old. But especially when Vista got so much bad press (not entirely undeserved!) and XP became the "safe" option to stick with, it's not too surprising that a fair chunk of people still stick with XP.

We are not going to educate our children in the greenfoot environment, and that is definite. I assume that the greenfoot organization understands our discontent. The limit: you were faced with a simple question. You answered with a presumption. Why?

I'm not quite sure why you seem to be jumping down my throat here! "A windows environment from 10 years ago" doesn't exactly state a particular Windows version. I had to presume something or other - 10 years ago puts us at what, 2001 ish. So that's before XP was released, after ME, and I don't know my Windows versions well enough to put any others around that date. If you'd like a better response, I'm afraid you'll have to provide more definitive information! I've still no idea what this thread is about, if someone could explain that might at least satisfy my curiosity? Is it a problem with Greenfoot on an earlier version of Windows? A problem with someone in particular using an earlier version of windows and Greenfoot? None of the above? I'm sure if you or anyone else has a particular problem then people will be more than happy to help, including myself. But until someone has a clue what's happening, no-one can help...!
